Dino Crisis fans want more

Although these releases will likely be celebrated by gamers who loved the original games and want to revisit them Dino Crisis on PC, unfortunately, it's not the new game that gamers have been begging for over the years. While Capcom Resident Evil has become a world-renowned franchise over the decades, Dino Crisis it was unfortunately neglected and saw neither a remake nor a sequel for years. Capcom is aware of the demands of the fans, even the original director Resident Evil 2Hideki Kamiya, suggesting that he would like to remake the original Dino Crisis.

While nothing has been announced regarding a remake or sequel, there is still some hope that Capcom is going to make a comeback Dino Crisis in some form. In mid-2025, Capcom renewed the trademark for Dino Crisisand considered Dino Crisis popular enough to release a small line of merchandise based on the games that arrived later that year. Bartosz Kwietniewski, head of business development at GOG, co-developer of the Steam version, also speculated that Capcom would eventually remake the original game and that a PC version could help encourage the developer. Whether that happens remains to be seen, but if the Steam version gets a lot of attention, the odds will likely improve. Right now, though, most of Capcom's attention is probably on other sci-fi and survival horror games like Resident Evil Requiem and the upcoming new IP Pragmatics.
