A Dino Crisis remake was reportedly attempted twice, but the projects were later scrapped due to low quality.
Replying to a user’s question on X, known CAPCOM leaker Dusk Golem revealed that, in the past few years, CAPCOM attempted to bring back the survival horror series with a remake of the first game. The first attempt was from CAPCOM Vancouver before they were shut down, while the second one was from an unspecified CAPCOM team a few years ago. This project, however, wasn’t turning out good and was eventually scrapped.
Although previous attempts at developing a Dino Crisis remake have reportedly failed, there’s a good chance the classic survival horror series may be close to a comeback. Earlier this year, the series was trademarked again in Japan, something that is usually done in the country when there’s a real intention of using an IP again, and in Brazil a few months ago. The Brazilian filing is particularly interesting, as the series was trademarked again at the same time CAPCOM filed a trademark for Resident Evil Requiem, and with a similar trademark class, entertainment and video games. Hopefully, these trademarks really mean something is in the works for a series that is long overdue its return.
The Dino Crisis series has been left dormant for a good while, but the classic franchise made a small comeback earlier this year with the GOG release of the first two entries in the series, complete with new features and improvements such as improved DirectX game renderer, new rendering options including V-Sync control, gamma correction, integer scaling, anti-aliasing and more, increased rendering resolution to 4K and color depth to 32-bit, improved geometry calculation, smoother animation, video and music playback, cloud saves support, and much more.
