GOG Resurrects Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on PC

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

While Dino Crisis 3 remains an Xbox exclusive, and despite fan calls for a new entry or an HD remake, Capcom appears to have moved on, with Exoprimal seemingly ending any hope for a Dino Crisis revival. Even creator Shinji Mikami expressed doubt about a reboot due to the success of Monster Hunter.

These PC ports, previously difficult to run on modern systems, are now enhanced for optimal playability. GOG highlights the improvements:

• Full Windows 10 and 11 compatibility.

Dino Crisis 2 (GOG Version):

• Full Windows 10 and 11 compatibility.

GOG also launched its Dreamlist, a community voting system to influence future game releases on the platform. This allows players to directly impact which titles GOG pursues for revival.
