Speculation about a potential revival of the Dino Crisis franchise has intensified following recent trademark activity. A new filing in Brazil suggests CAPCOM may be reigniting the beloved survival-horror series.

A Brazilian news outlet, REVIL, uncovered documentation showing a fresh Dino Crisis trademark application lodged with Brazil’s National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) on July 3. Unlike earlier registrations linked to legacy titles, this filing aligns with timing for Resident Evil Requiem’s trademark, hinting at a distinct project. Both applications fall under the “entertainment and video games” category, fueling theories about a potential remake, remaster, or entirely new installment. The move mirrors CAPCOM’s approach to revitalizing other dormant IPs, such as the Onimusha series.

This development follows a March 2024 trademark renewal for Dino Crisis in Japan. Industry observers note such registrations often precede active development, as seen with prior CAPCOM revivals. While the publisher released updated PC ports of the first two Dino Crisis games earlier this year, the new filings suggest broader ambitions. The enhanced editions introduced features like 4K resolution support, upgraded texture rendering, and cloud save functionality—upgrades that could serve as groundwork for more substantial projects.

With CAPCOM’s recent success in revisiting classic franchises through remakes and remasters, the growing evidence from multiple regions strengthens the case for Dino Crisis’ return. Fans await official confirmation about whether this signals a full-scale revival or intermediate updates to the cult classic series.
