Capcom has announced a remastered version of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. The game is set to release for the PlayStation 4 sometime this year. The game will seemingly support a whopping 14 different languages, according to the official teaser website.
About Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny
For those unaware, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2002. The character model of the main character is based on the late Yusaku Matsuda, a Japanese actor who became famous in the 80s.
The game was considered an improvement over the original Onimusha: Warlords in every aspect: volume, action, and replay value, thanks to the main character’s allies. It sold a total of 2.1 million copies, a record for the series.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny features the tale of Jubei Yagyu’s revenge, retaining the setting and gameplay systems of the original game. Though it is a sequel, it’s a completely new protagonist, so you don’t need to play the original to enjoy this one.
