Dino Crisis Remake Rumours – The Hunt May Resume… And We’re Ready for the Red Dinosaurs
Capcom has just renewed its trademark for “Dino Crisis” in Japan, setting off another stampede of speculation that a remake could finally be on the horizon.
Is it happening for real this time?
Or are they just teasing us again while Street Fighter gets its 47th costume pack?
“We see you, Capcom. We see you.
The Recap You Need:
| Year | Dino Crisis News |
|---|---|
| 2019 | Regina added to Capcom survey, fan hope explodes |
| 2022 | Nothing. Only fossils. |
| 2023 | Dino Crisis logo spotted in Exoprimal… it was bait. |
| 2025 | Trademark renewed – we’re back in business (maybe) |
This marks the first real move in years that gives fans hope Capcom is dusting off its second-best horror franchise (after Resident Evil, don’t fight us).
A Quick History Lesson
Released in 1999 for the PS1, Dino Crisis was Resident Evil’s prehistoric cousin, tank controls, tight corridors, and dinosaurs that had no respect for save rooms. Directed by Shinji Mikami, it mixed survival horror with sci-fi panic, and the result was chaos with claws.
Regina, our red-haired lead, became an instant icon, part agent, part therapist for traumatized gamers who never trusted ventilation shafts again.
It was fast, brutal, and oddly clever, using AI pathing that made raptors hunt you through doors.
You think the coast is clear, backtrack for ammo, and boom, the same raptor you swore was dead ends your run like it was personal.
If that’s not survival horror, what is?
So… Is This a Real Remake or Just Legal Housekeeping?
Trademark renewals can be procedural, but the timing is suspiciously spicy:
- Capcom has been on a remake spree: Resident Evil 2, 3, 4
- Hideki Kamiya (RE2 dev) said he’d “love to remake it”
- GOG just re-released the classics with 4K support
You think the coast is clear, backtrack for ammo, and boom, the same damn raptor you swore was dead ends your run like it was personal. If that’s not survival horror, what is?

What a Modern Dino Crisis Could Look Like
Imagine Unreal Engine 5 jungles with dynamic lighting and ray-traced raptors lurking in the mist.
Imagine feeling the ground shake, not from your PS5 fan, but from a T-Rex stomping across the lab floor in full HDR glory.
And Regina?
She deserves a redesign that keeps the tactical edge, not just another skin for Fortnite.
Modern Capcom has the tech to make it terrifying again, but the real question is: will they remember the paranoia that made it great?
Because Dino Crisis was never about guns or gore, it was about not knowing whether the next hallway meant escape or extinction.
Bonus: Code Violet – An Indie Dino Crisis Tribute
A tiny four-person indie team is currently building Code Violet, a love letter to Dino Crisis with fixed camera angles, red lighting, and enough late-90s energy to short-circuit a CRT.
- PS5-only (for now)
- Built in Unreal Engine
- No PC release “to avoid modding disasters” (their words!)
It’s pure fan passion, the kind of project that reminds Capcom why they can’t let this IP rot in amber.
Gameplay Techy’s Take
Gameplay Techy’s Take
If Capcom doesn’t bring it back, the fans will — and the fans are getting better every year. Between Code Violet and the GOG re-releases, one thing’s clear:
Dino Crisis isn’t extinct – it’s evolving.
Regina’s waiting, the fans are restless, and the fossils are stirring.
If this remake happens, it’ll be the loudest comeback roar since Leon found hairspray in Raccoon City.
