GOG Resurrects Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on PC

Relive the thrill of survival horror with the return of Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, now available on GOG for PC! These cult classic PlayStation games, preserved through GOG's Preservation Program, are available DRM-free with all their original content intact.

Originally released in 1999 and 2000 respectively, these titles captivated players with their unique blend of survival horror and dinosaur encounters. While Dino Crisis 3 launched on the original Xbox in 2003, a new entry in the series has remained elusive, despite fan demand. Capcom's 2022 release of Exoprimal and creator Shinji Mikami's comments further fueled speculation that a Dino Crisis reboot or remake is unlikely.

However, the arrival of these PC ports is a welcome surprise for fans. Previously difficult to run on modern systems, GOG's enhanced versions offer a seamless experience. As GOG states, Regina's iconic line, "You're extinct!" no longer applies to the games themselves.
