Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remastered Announced for 2025
[summaraize]
Revealed during today’s Capcom Spotlight stream, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is getting a remastered release later this year! The original was released in 2002 on the PS2, and 23 years later, we’re finally getting a remaster.
It will be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to play the remaster via backwards compatibility
Onimusha 2 Is Getting a Remaster Ahead of Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s 2026 Release
There’s not much to go on in terms of expected enhancements, though, given Capcom’s past remasters and collections (such as Megaman and Ace Attorney), we’ll likely see improvements to resolution and performance and some new quality-of-life features. The original Onimusha, Onimusha Warlord, previously got a remaster with the following improvements and features included (via Steam):
“Capcom’s riveting samurai adventure returns! This version includes the original game’s intense swordplay and dramatic revenge story, plus a host of enhancements. Improved controls allow players to move and fight with analog-stick precision. The crisp, high-definition visuals support 16:9 widescreen as well as the original 4:3 resolution display. A new soundtrack brings the feudal Japan setting to life with an air of authenticity and intrigue. Experience this enhanced version of the best-selling action-adventure classic!”
We can probably expect similar enhancements for the sequel remaster.
Now, the bigger question is, can we expect a remaster for Onimusha 3? One can hope, especially since there’s plenty of time before Onimusha: Way of the Sword gets released.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remastered will launch sometime this year for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
