Over the course of his career, Hideki Kamiya has made a significant impact within the video game industry. While at Capcom, he played a key role in creating iconic games such as “Resident Evil 2“, “Viewtiful Joe”, and “Okami”. Later, he co-created the Bayonetta series with PlatinumGames. Following some time away from Capcom, Kamiya is now working on a new installment for Okami. In a recent interview with The MinnMax Show, Kamiya was asked about his interest in revisiting Resident Evil, to which he expressed no interest. However, he appeared more inclined towards Dino Crisis, expressing a desire to work on it.

The initial installment of the “Dino Crisis” series, released in 1999 for the original PlayStation, has been silent since 2003 following two sequels. Nevertheless, fans have persistently demanded a new game, and Capcom has dropped hints suggesting they might be planning a new title or even a remake. Last year, the results of the Capcom Super Elections were revealed, with “Dino Crisis” leading the pack in a question asking participants which series they wanted to see get a sequel or new game. Following the launch of the “Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster”, “Dino Crisis” was mentioned again in another survey addressing possible “deluxe remasters”.

It’s clear that Capcom might be thinking about reviving Dino Crisis, although it may not be an immediate project. Many video game franchises lie dormant in the industry, but Dino Crisis has been mentioned more frequently in recent years than most; even Capcom acknowledged its 25th anniversary last year, without any new release to announce or commemorate. This suggests that the series is still relevant within the company.

Currently, it appears that the likelihood of Kamiya working on a Dino Crisis revival is rather low, given his current workload and other projects he’s expressed interest in. As of now, it seems that the Okami sequel is still in its early stages, keeping the director quite occupied. Moreover, Kamiya has been vocal about various projects recently, including a potential return to Scalebound, an Xbox exclusive that was cancelled back in 2017. At the moment, it seems that Kamiya is exploring multiple possibilities for his next project.

The first installment of “Dino Crisis” was helmed by Shinji Mikami, who earlier directed the initial version of “Resident Evil” in 1996. Afterward, Mikami continued as a producer for the sequel of Resident Evil in 1998, with Kamiya taking over the directorial role instead. Consequently, both horror series have a lot in common due to the shared team members and similar gameplay mechanics. It would make perfect sense if Kamiya were to rejoin for another “Dino Crisis,” but whether that will occur remains to be seen.
