Remaster of Capcom Hack and Slash Action Game Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny coming in 2025
During the back-to-back Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase and Capcom Spotlight broadcasts took place on 5th February 2025 (HKT), Capcom revealed that a remaster of the classic Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is set to strike later this year, along with latest messages from the development team of Onimusha: Way of the Sword™.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword™ producer Akihito Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei joined the show to share the latest details on the all-new entry in the sword-fighting action game series.
Set in feudal Japan amidst the historic landmarks of Kyoto, including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, the long-awaited title follows the story of a new protagonist wielding the Oni Gauntlet in bloody clashes with the demonic Genma.
The thrilling samurai action game emphasizes the satisfaction of slicing through enemies and rewards making strategic decisions when absorbing their souls in the heat of battle.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword™ cuts a path toward release on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in 2026.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny was first released in 2002 for PlayStation®2.
With the protagonist Jubei Yagyu who is visually based on popular 1980s late movie star Matsuda Yusaku, Onimusha 2: Samura’s Destiny has slick action gameplay, and a wide cast of characters to befriend and ally with. While a worthy sequel in its own right, this game focuses on a different protagonist than Samanosuke from Onimusha: Warlords, so players can jump straight into Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. With several enhancements from the original, it has become the best-seller in the series with 2.1 million copies sold*.
*as of 30th September 2024
This new and enhanced version is coming to PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC via Steam in 2025. Check out the remaster’s reveal trailer here: https://youtu.be/y9hLi3BTjZY
