Firstly, I’d like to point out that although this might mean nothing to some people in that it’s just Capcom renewing yet another video game’s trademark, it’s worth pointing out that Capcom actively wants to reawaken dormant IPs such as Ντίνο Κρίση if fans show enough interest.
To ease the skeptic in someone thinking, “Yeah, every company renews trademarks even if the IP is long gone dead.” Back on December 29th, 2017, Capcom showed interest in making a new Ντίνο Κρίση παιχνίδι:
Thanks everyone! Hope these wishes will come true one day…;) Dev1 will keep doing our best on making such great games worth playing this year, too!

In 2018, Capcom had an investor report that revealed the company wanting to explore older titles through remakes. Here’s what Capcom had to say about older titles and remakes:
«Περαιτέρω, όσον αφορά τα remake και τις επανεκδόσεις τίτλων στον πίσω κατάλογό μας, αναμένουμε να τα εξερευνήσουμε περαιτέρω με μια ποικιλία ιδιοτήτων ως μέρος της στρατηγικής μας για τη χρήση της βιβλιοθήκης IP μας».
Jump to June 2019, and we learn from website videogameschronicle.com and Capcom’s managing corporate officer, Ryozo Tsujimoto, that new games and characters will appear in the future as well as more remakes and re-releases:
«Δεν εγκαταλείπουμε την ιδέα της δημιουργίας νέων χαρακτήρων και σειρών, απλώς τα πάμε πολύ καλά αυτή τη στιγμή με την φέρνοντας νέες, φρέσκες προσεγγίσεις στις υπάρχουσες σειρές μας».
In October of this year, website metro.co.uk looked over Capcom’s integrated report for 2019 and found the company wants to “awaken dormant intellectual properties.” You can read the quote from the publication site right here:
«Το πιο συναρπαστικό κομμάτι για τους θαυμαστές ωστόσο είναι το σχέδιο τριών σημείων της Capcom για το μέλλον, το οποίο είναι 1. να ενισχύσει τις ψηφιακές πωλήσεις, 2. να αυξήσει τη διάρκεια της υποστήριξης για υπάρχοντες τίτλους και 3. να «ξυπνήσει αδρανείς πνευματικές ιδιότητες».
That’s right, ever since 2017, Capcom has been dropping hints that the team wants to explore older IPs such as Κρίση Ντίνο. However, website gameonze.com βρέθηκε στο chizai-watch.com that Capcom has renewed Dino Crisis’ trademark:
“The Japanese company has filed numerous trademarks. There’s something for everyone: from Power Stone to Cyberbots, via Rockman (Mega Man), Tech Romancer, Progear, and Bionic Commando. The one that has attracted the most attention, however, is undoubtedly Dino Crisis, since we have been waiting for Regina’s return for almost twenty years now.”
Whether Capcom makes Ντίνο Κρίση in the near future, would you want to see Regina in current year? Also, do you think the game would be free of censorship, ugly female characters, or propaganda injected into the main story?
