But the success of souls-like games like Sekiro should give Capcom a hint at what would be possible with a new Onimusha. Back in time closer to Dawn of Dreams, the success of Devil May Cry 3 likely influenced the move toward more action-focused gameplay in Dawn of Dreams. The Sekiro developer FromSoftware has games that many players love, and Capcom should take note of its success in designing a new Onimusha. The atmosphere, gameplay, and progression systems from the souls-like games are all things that could benefit the return Capcom's samurai-horror series.ĭevil May Cry is one of Capcom's most popular franchises, as the special edition of DMC5 released for PS5 and Xbox Series X to much success recently (as a recent example). Many players would find news of a new Onimusha welcome, but in a vastly different gaming landscape from 2006, Capcom would do well to learn more from the success of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and other than its own Devil May Cry series. The leak was major and included information about many other Capcom properties, but any information obtained in such a way should be taken with a grain of salt. Oftentimes, publishers like Capcom will renew trademarks in order to prevent losing rights to certain characters or to prevent the production of copycat games. RELATED: Capcom Remakes That Need To Happen After Resident Evil 4 Remakeįans were given hope about a new Onimusha game after a leak surfaced that hinted at such a project being in development, but this isn't concrete proof. Now, since Capcom renewed the Onimusha trademark back in 2018, fans have wondered if another game was in development. While many fans enjoyed the fast-paced gameplay and options for co-op play, many others were left disappointed by the move away from Onimusha's horror roots. The game spawned three sequels, with the last title being Onimusha Dawn of Dreams, and it skewed more towards the action-centric gameplay of another one of Capcom's supernatural series: Devil May Cry. Onimusha began life on the PS2 way back in 2001 as a fun melding of Resident Evil's horror themes and tank-control style with traditional Japanese folklore and samurai gameplay. New entries from Capcom and other publishers have pioneered new ways to play and new genres as a whole, and if Capcom ever plans to resurrect the Onimushafranchise, there are some major games that Capcom would do well to learn from. In that time, the gaming landscape has changed a lot. It's been nearly fifteen years since the last mainline title in Capcom's samurai and horror mashup series Onimusha.
