Where a string of comments sending congratulations on reaching such a milestone should have been, people instead took the opportunity to ask Capcom whether the retro title would ever be r🐟emade.

So concerned with whether or not they could…

Currently, despite the swathe of Resident Evil games that have been given a new lease on life, Capcom has no plans to rejuvenate the Dino Crisis series.

Despite the dozens of comments asking th🉐e company to remake the second game (and the first, in fact), the ꦚstudio has shown little interest in bringing it back.

Existing largely as a Resident Evil-esque franchise, the first two Dino Crisis entries enjoyed a fair amount of success back at the turn of the new millennium. There was a third game that was released in 2000 for the OG Xbox system, as well as a light-gun spin-off called Dino Stalker. Neither of these were received favorably.

But with the success that Capcom has been experiencing with RE remakes, and with a lot of demand, it’s clear that fans would like to see either Dino Crisis or Dino Crisis 2 get another stab in the gaming world.
