Dino Crisis May Be Getting A Remake On PS5 And Xbox Series X

While Capcom has certainly seen success by growing and iterating on its biggest properties (to date, the stellar Monster Hunter World has sold in excess of 15 million units), the company has also seen great success with its remasters, remakes, and anthologies. Aside from a handful of Mega Man collections, the developer made waves last year when they released Resident Evil 2, which not only outsold the original but garnered a number of game of the year awards and perfect scores

As you might imagine then, they’re now moving forward with more remakes, the most notable being a reimagining of Resident Evil 3, which is due out in just a couple of months. However, it looks like Capcom might have another revival in the works as well, one that could very well debut on next-gen consoles.

As ComicBook.com reports, a new rumor from AestheticGamer reveals that Dino Crisis might be getting a remake later this year, which would, in all likelihood, also be released on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, along with Sony and Microsoft’s current hardware.

Of course, all of this has yet to be confirmed by Capcom, but some of the key points do make sense. After all, following the release of Resident Evil 3, the company won’t have much in the way of core series games to remaster, which means they’ll be looking at another intellectual property to revive. As a survival horror franchise, Dino Crisis certainly fits the bill, and it was even created by the same team that was behind the very first Resident Evil.

As always, this should be taken with a grain of salt, but we wouldn’t be entirely surprised if we heard an official announcement from Capcom in the coming months. We’re curious though, would you like to see a revival of Dino Crisis, or do you think another IP should be given the modern treatment?

They should be doing Code: Veronica, literally the last game that needs to be 'remade' to complete the series so they're all up to modern standards. The game is also already 3D modeled so they have general world geometry to build off of when they redesign things.

 

[Blond]

YES! I've been saying since Resident Evil 5 they created an action foundation would be amazing for a Dino Crisis reboot/remake/sequel

I have no idea why they went full retard with 3 by not only making it in space but also xbox exclusive and then going "Well it failed, pack it all up Jim!"

 

[HarryKS]

Been hearing that rumor for the past 10-12 years now.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Is this remake the industrys worst kept secret?

Just in time for the next Jurassic Park movie

Phil Spencer mentioned he played some unannounced titles in Japan. Given their relationship with Capcom I would imagine there is a good chance Dino Crisis was one of them if it exists.

 

[Elder Legend]

I would NOT be surprised if we see an announcement this year or the next. Its almost obvious at this point honestly.

It's a question of When? And not If.

 

[FranXico]

That would be nice, yes.

Dino Crysis using the RE Engine on the next generation consoles would look out of this world

 

[Aggelos]

These guys also reported the rumour last summer.




As we said, take everything with a grain of salt.
Reviving a forgotten and dormant IP, is a risky move business-wise. And for every large company there's business analysis and market analysis and a lot of moving factors before a project like that gets green-lit.

This would be awesome. Dino Crisis 2 was one of my favorite games on PS1.
