A recent Capcom interview hints at some interesting possibilities for the future of some classic franchises. In particular, Dino Crisis. It smells pretty good.
The recent exchange between a journalist and the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster development team revealed some interesting information for Capcom fans, especially those hoping to one day see the return of Dino Crisis. Although the interview mainly focuses on the return of the Dead Rising franchise, some statements offer a glimmer of hope for fans of other Capcom classics.
Dinosaur crisis in the pipeline?
During the IGN interview, the development team was asked about the future potential of the Dead Rising series, especially after the release of the remaster. Capcom has expressed its desire to continue reviving its historical licenses. The team stressed the importance of promoting the Dead Rising remaster to gauge audience interest and determine the next steps. This passage immediately caught the attention of Dino Crisis fans, who continue to demand a return of this cult series. And this has been happening for years.
Although Dino Crisis wasn’t mentioned directly in the interview, Capcom’s commitment to reviving its classic franchises, coupled with the statement that they want to expand their catalog, is an encouraging sign. The success of recent remakes like Resident Evil shows that Capcom is willing to invest in reviving its series, and Dino Crisis could be next.
By re-releasing classics like Dead Rising, Capcom seems to be testing the waters to gauge market interest in its older franchises. If Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is as successful as expected, it’s plausible that Capcom will apply the same strategy to other iconic games. Dino Crisis has enormous potential to captivate players again with its unique blend of survival, horror, and dinosaurs. This is even more true with modern gaming technologies.
