GOG Resurrects Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on PC

GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, bringing them to PC in DRM-free releases. Both titles, originally released on PlayStation, are now available via GOG's Preservation Program, ensuring their original content remains intact.

Capcom's Dino Crisis 3, an Xbox exclusive, remains the last entry in the series, despite fan demand for a reboot or remake. 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 improvements in their releases:

Dino Crisis 2 (GOG Version):

• Full Windows 10 and 11 compatibility.
