Capcom Dino Crisis merch lottery kicks off

Capcom launches a Dino Crisis themed merch raffle as fans eye a potential revival

Capcom stokes Dino Crisis revival with merch lottery

Capcom announced a Dino Crisis themed merch raffle running from August 8 to September 12. The lineup includes desk mats sweaters keychains and stickers. Tickets cost 880 Yen each and buyers may purchase multiple entries. Each item carries a rarity rating with the sweater at 1-in-100 and the desk mat at 3-in-100. Winners are selected by lottery and shipped what was ordered, with rarer items harder to obtain.

The move comes as Capcom keeps the Dino Crisis name in the public eye without promising a new game. In 2024 the company asked fans which dormant franchises to revive and Dino Crisis topped the responses. The title later appeared on GOG with improvements and joined Sonys PS Plus Premium retro library. While these steps show memory of the property, there is no firm remake or release announced yet.

This merch led approach reflects a broader trend in gaming where nostalgia helps sustain a brand while big news is held back. Capcom lowers risk by letting fans engage through a lottery rather than committing upfront to a new title. It also fuels social media chatter and tests how much appetite exists for a revival without incurring large development costs. The tension is clear: fans want a signal a plan a real product; the company seeks patience and measured momentum. If sentiment shifts toward frustration this could turn into a pressure point for the publisher.
