Capcom recently released an official English translation of its annual shareholders meeting, revealing that its investors are keenly interested in new installments of popular franchises. Although there are no definitive updates regarding a potential Dino Crisis remake, Capcom has indicated that reviving classic franchises is an option they are considering.
This suggests that while specific projects haven’t been confirmed, the company is open to exploring new entries in their well-loved series.
Earlier this year, Capcom conducted a Super Elections poll, engaging hundreds of thousands of fans to gather opinions on their favorite games and desired franchise revivals. The results highlighted Dino Crisis and Mega Man as top contenders for revival.
Despite this strong demand, Capcom has yet to announce any concrete plans to reboot or expand these series. This indicates that while fan feedback is valued, it hasn’t yet translated into actionable development plans.
During the shareholder Q&A, Capcom was asked if the poll results would influence their future game development. The company affirmed that they regard all their intellectual properties (IPs) as valuable and are exploring various ways to utilize them, not only in games but across other media.
This approach includes the possibility of new titles, remakes, ports, and collections. Capcom aims to leverage its IPs to ensure that a broad audience can enjoy its games globally.
A specific query about the Mega Man series was addressed, with Capcom acknowledging the franchise’s importance and their ongoing efforts to develop new games. Although Mega Man has been a significant part of Capcom’s history, particularly after the 2018 release of Mega Man 11, updates on new projects for the blue bomber have been sparse.
Capcom’s statement suggests that they are considering future directions for the series, but no immediate plans were detailed.
Dino Crisis remains a notable point of interest, especially given the strong fanbase and growing online buzz around a potential revival. The original PS1 games have a dedicated following, and the idea of a reboot has become somewhat of a meme within the gaming community.
While Capcom has not yet announced any definitive plans for Dino Crisis, the situation is reminiscent of how fan demand contributed to the return of other franchises, like Skate 4. This indicates a possibility that Capcom might eventually heed the calls for a Dino Crisis revival.
