Is Dino Crisis on PS5? Capcom’s Dino Crisis turned 25-years-old this year, having launched for the PSOne in Japan in July 1999 and arriving in the west later that year. Fans have long requested a remake of new entry in the survival horror series, which was the brainchild of Shinji Mikami, the creator of the Resident Evil franchise. There’s been a lot of interest in the series as of late, with many searches enquiring about Dino Crisis PS5. But is anything available for Sony’s current-generation console?

What Is Dino Crisis?
Dino Crisis was released in 1999 for the PSOne and is essentially Resident Evil with dinosaurs. Okay, so that’s a very shorthand explanation, but quite accurate in terms of basic gameplay mechanics. Unlike Capcom’s zombie series, Dino Crisis uses 3D backgrounds and focuses on puzzles and exploration, with combat not always encouraged as players must carefully manage their healing items and ammunition – just like in Resident Evil.
The game stars special agent Regina, who is dispatched alongside three other comrade to a research facility on Ibis island to apprehend Dr. Edward Kirk, a scientist who was thought to have died three years prior and is leading a secret weapons project. While exploring the facility, Regina and company quickly find out that it’s overrun with dinosaurs, and must battle to survive.
