You can’t deny the rampant success that Capcom has had in recent years. Between series like Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Ace Attorney, the massive publisher has shown a penchant for both new experiences and reimagining classic ones. That success has allowed Capcom to return to some of its more dormant franchises, and the Samurai-meets-demons Onimusha is the next one on the cusp of a massive comeback. With a brand new game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, set for 2026, it’s a prime time to bring the legendary series back into the spotlight.
One of Capcom’s most universally beloved games is Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, and the upcoming remaster was intentionally kept similar to the original, released to retain the same feeling the 2002 PS2 game evoked.
