Transfer over Resident Evil, Capcom has a brand new remake-led prized pony on the town, and it is identify is Onimusha.
Sure, you learn that proper. Onimusha is again, and searching higher than ever in Capcom’s frankly obscene REengine. The writer has rebooted the collection – which has been dormant since 2018, by the best way, when it comes to console and PC video games – with a darkish fantasy, triple-A degree motion sport. It actually appears to be like like its taking purpose on the Elden Rings, Darkish Souls, and Niohs of the world, does not it?
At The Sport Awards 2024, Capcom surprised audiences by displaying off a brand new Onimusha sport with no prior teasing or fanfare. Within the trailer, we noticed some intense third-person motion, and heard some fairly odd English voice-acting. The sport, known as Onimusha: Means of the Sword, is coming in 2026.
Check out the debut under.
We have not heard from the Onimusha collection for a very long time. The final we noticed of Capcom’s esteemed franchise was Onimusha: Warlords, a great worth remaster of a good sport that rode on the again of among the momentum garnered by the nostalgia-baiting hype of Resident Evil 2 Remake. A remake of the primary sport within the collection, you’ll be able to go and play it on present consoles and PC proper now, if you need a style of what to anticipate from this new title.
On the time of writing, the Onimusha collection has bought a complete of 8.7 million copies worldwide, making it Capcom’s tenth best-selling franchise (behind Monster Hunter, Lifeless Rising, Dragon’s Dogma, Road Fighter, Mega Man, Resi, DMC, and Ace Lawyer). I ponder how a lot this new sport goes to shunt this oft-forgotten collection up the charts.
We’ll discover out in 2026.
