Dino Crisis 2turns 23 today and, to celebrate this milestone, the official Capcom Twitter posted a picture of the game. While that might seem innocuous, fans have been demanding a remake for years now. So, unsurprisingly, the comments and quote retweets are flooded with people asking, ‘Where Dino Crisis?’
“Please re-release it on PlayStation pretty please x,” @Grad0n tweeted. “PLEASE CAPCOM,” @junchgaming said. “Reboot when?” @ResidentDante said.

Reboot, remake, port - fans are asking for anything at this point. But it’s nothing new.Resident Evil, which is also published by Capcom, has had three remakes since 2019 alone, while the entire series is playable on current-gen. Dino Crisis, however, is trapped on older hardware, and the last new game launched in 2003. We try to forget that one, though - it was an Xbox exclusive that was more or less the Resident Evil 6 of the series.
“We want remake,” @awseswes said. “Well well well, would you look at the time! It is remake o’clock,” @Sultant_a said. “Bring back the dinosaurs!” @restart_gamer said. The comments and quote retweets go on and on with a similar sentiment, a lot of people conveniently missing out the third game when asking for the series to get ported to current-gen consoles.
Granted,Dino Crisisdidmake a comeback in August of last year, just not in the way most people were expecting. It appeared in a mobile card game called Teppen, which was developed by Capcom and GungHo Online Entertainment. This was part of a crossover that also included Resident Evil icons like Ada Wong, Leon Kennedy, and Hunk. It’s something, right?
Aside from that, there was the announcement ofExoprimal. Unveiled as a new dinosaur game from Capcom with a red-haired special agent,many immediately thought it was a new Dino Crisis game, if not a remake. It was not, and was instead an online shooter that launched to middling reviews.
Going further back to June of last year,Capcom asked if fans like Dino Crisis and Dead Rising, two dormant series that have been on the tip of many people’s tongues for years now, both ending with less-than-favourable sequels. Many took this to mean that remakes were either in development or being considered, but we’ve heard nothing since.
Maybe one day Dino Crisis will make a comeback, but for now, all that’s certain is that if Capcom posts anything about it, all the mentions will be flooded with demands for a remake.
