Capcom is officially reopening the time gate. The publisher has launched the original Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 on Steam for the very first time, making the cult-classic survival horror titles fully playable on modern PC hardware.
Originally released in 1999, Dino Crisis transported players from the zombie-infested streets of survival horror into a facility overrun with prehistoric predators. The story follows special agent Regina as she infiltrates a research complex only to discover that dinosaurs have somehow returned and they’re very, very hungry. The game became known for blending tense exploration and puzzle-solving with relentless raptor encounters that felt faster and more aggressive than the shambling undead of its era.
Regina Returns for More Prehistoric Chaos
The sequel shifts the tone toward action while keeping Regina at the center of the chaos. In Dino Crisis 2, players travel back to the Cretaceous Period on a mission to rescue survivors of a city displaced in time. The follow-up emphasizes faster-paced combat, larger dinosaur hordes, and a deeper arsenal of weapons, leaning into arcade-style scoring and combo systems while maintaining the franchise’s sci-fi edge.
Both Steam releases preserve the original gameplay experience while adding enhancements to support modern operating systems and controllers, ensuring smoother performance on current PCs without altering the core design fans remember.
Launch Discount and Capcom Publisher Sale
To celebrate the PC debut, Capcom is offering both Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2 at 50% off for a limited time, bringing each title down to $5. The launch coincides with the broader Capcom Publisher Sale on Steam, which includes discounts across several major franchises.
Fans looking for more survival horror can also find deals on the Resident Evil series, the Onimusha franchise, and titles like Exoprimal.
With both Dino Crisis titles now available on Steam, PC players can finally revisit or experience for the first time one of Capcom’s most requested classic franchises on modern hardware.
