Asura's Wrath Should Be the Next Franchise Capcom Brings Back

The eighth generation of consoles has been something of a revival for Capcom. The old game developer began revitalizing some of its finest franchises in the past five years, starting on Resident Evil with 2017's excellent Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Monster Hunter World came next in 2018, and it finally succeeded in bringing the popular franchise to worldwide acclaim. Mega Man 11 shocked the fandom when it came out later that same year, and Devil May Cry 5 followed it in the next. With the recent announcement of Street Fighter 6, there’s a chance that all of Capcom’s core franchises will once again set the standard for their respective genres, and fans can rest easy knowing that their beloved games are in good hands.

But as the Capcom Fighting Collection just reminded everyone, Capcom has a lot of other properties gathering dust. Old fans have been clamoring for a new Final Fight or Dino Crisis for years, and the Dead Rising and Ghosts ‘n Goblins communities would love to see their franchises come back in a big way. Even those who believe the rumors that the new Dragon’s Dogma and Mega Man X games are in development are getting a little impatient. Many other small Capcom brands have completely slipped through the cracks, leaving little hope for things like a new Breath of Fire or Strider. In the midst of all this, one franchise that really ought to come back, at least as a remaster, is Asura’s Wrath.
