GOG resurrects the cult classic survival horror games, Dino Crisis and Dino Crisis 2, with DRM-free PC re-releases. Both PlayStation titles are now available on GOG's platform as part of its Preservation Program, retaining their original content.
Originally released in 1999 and 2000 respectively, these games represent a significant piece of gaming history. While Dino Crisis 3 arrived on the original Xbox in 2003, a new entry or HD remake has remained elusive despite fan demand. Capcom's 2022 release of Exoprimal, and comments from creator Shinji Mikami, seemingly solidified the franchise's dormancy.
GOG's contribution is particularly valuable, given the challenges of running these older games on modern systems. The company highlights the improved compatibility and enhanced features:
Dino Crisis (GOG Version):

Furthermore, GOG announced its Dreamlist initiative, a community voting system to influence future game additions to the platform. This allows players to directly impact which titles GOG pursues for revival and release.
