An Onimusha 2 Remaster is Finally Happening!

Back when I played the remaster of Onimusha, I mentioned my hope that the sequels would be remastered as well.

I’d never had a chance to play them, and I enjoyed the first game enough that I wanted more.

At the time, it seemed unlikely. There were a lot of concerns that the remaster simply hadn’t sold well enough for Capcom to make more.

But when the new game in the series was announced at The Game Awards, I expressed that hope again. After all, remasters would be the perfect way to fill the long gap before Way of the Sword’s 2026 release, and a new game announcement showed they still had confidence in the Onimusha IP.

Well, although the Capcom Spotlight mostly focused on already-announced titles (and certainly had no Ace Attorney news), it did include one surprise – an Onimusha 2 remaster announced for later this year.

It will be out on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC, so I’ll probably play it on the Switch like I did the first remaster.

There are two other mainline Onimusha games after 2, Onimusha 3 and Dawn of Dreams. It remains to be seen if Capcom intends to remaster them as well or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re waiting to see how well 2 does. I’ll definitely be picking up the Onimusha 2 remaster when it comes out.

(Oh, and they made a point of saying that Onimusha: Way of the Sword won’t be “an impossibly difficult game”, which should lay to rest the concerns that it would be a Souls-like).

Are you planning to pick up Onimusha 2 once the remaster comes out? Do you think the other games in the series will be remastered as well?
