Dino Crisis Fans Hope For New Game Following Capcom Update
A new report about Capcom's interest in reviving long-dormant properties has sparked hope amongst Dino Crisis fans who remain eager for the franchise's return. Initially designed to inject more "panic horror" into a Resident Evil-like experience, Dino Crisis hit the ground running in 1999 on the original PlayStation.

The light gun shooter, Dino Stalker, and mobile game, Dungeon in Chaos, that launched between the second and third mainline offerings didn't inspire much hope in the brand's future, either. Unfortunately, outside of Dino Crisis' fan-made mods and remakes, the beloved franchise has sat on the sidelines for nigh on two decades.
