REBOOT: Yoshinori Ono has hinted at a possible return for the popular samural series

It's been a little over 15 years since Capcom first released the hugely popular and incredibly influential samurai action-adventure Onimusha: Warlords.

The original game was a massive hit on the PS2 and became the console's first game to sell over a million copies.

Though eventually its sales surpassed two million units worldwide.

But despite a flurry of sequels in a five-year spell, the series has been pretty much AWOL following the 2006 release Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.

A possible revival for the game has been mentioned once or twice in recent years, but Capcom have not shown any hunger to revisit Onimusha.

So when provided with an opportunity to interview Capcom legend Yoshinori Ono - a man who worked extensively on the Onimusha series - Daily Star Online asked if there was any headway on bringing the beloved game back into the fold at Capcom for a next-gen reboot.

that would be awesome :)



Would be nice to see another Onimusha on Steam.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I only played the one that included that guy from the movie the professional. It was really good and I'm not a fan of games like this I rarely like them. Onimusha, Devil May cry, and Ninja Gaiden are the only ones I've liked.



i think we capcom will announce a new onimusha this year for ps4, as what i know they filed trademark last year, so it´s not only talking...

Yeah, Jean Reno. (I love that movie btw)



That was badass. I played this one, and Onimusha 2.
I'd be down for a new one. Until then, there's Ni-oh coming this year.

Yep that's the one. Never heard of Ni-Oh but I saw the trailer looks good.
