Dino Crisis Games Revived by GOG

Authore: AllisonUpdate:Feb 19,2025

GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, for PC. Both titles, originally released on PlayStation, are now available DRM-free on GOG's platform as part of their Preservation Program, retaining their original content.

Capcom's Dino Crisis 3, an Xbox exclusive, remains the last entry in the series, despite fan calls for a remake or new installment. The release of Exoprimal, a dinosaur-themed multiplayer game, and comments from creator Shinji Mikami seemingly dashed hopes for a Dino Crisis revival.

These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now enhanced for optimal performance. GOG highlights the improved compatibility and numerous enhancements included in these releases.
