It's starting to feel like Capcom can't miss, and after seeing a hands-off gameplay demo of Onimusha: Way of the Sword and speaking with the game's developers at Summer Game Fest, I don't think that streak is ending anytime soon. This is a confident comeback for a long-dormant series, and one that appears to perfectly capture the vibes of PS2 action-horror in a gorgeously realized modern package.
It's been nearly 20 years since the last proper Onimusha game, but Capcom says "it's been a long time coming for us" as much as it has for fans, as the studio has never given up its hopes on bringing the series back. A lot of things just got in the way first.
