Onimusha 2 Remaster Announced for PS4, Coming This Year | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Capcom has revealed it's releasing a remaster of PS2 classic Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny later this year for PS4. As it prepares for new mainline game Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the firm is returning to its remastering efforts, which it began six years ago with an updated Onimusha: Warlords release.

As the footage in the trailer above shares, this looks to be a fairly simple remaster project that simply brings back the original game in that same form with better visuals. It's releasing for PS4 later on in 2025, and will be available to play on PS5 via backwards compatibility.

Released for the PS2 in 2002, the follow-up introduced a new protagonist and expanded on the original's gameplay with extra mechanics and features. Will you check out Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny for the first time via this PS4 remaster, or are you a returning veteran? Let us know in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

We're one step closer to Onimusha Dawn of dreams! Definitely getting this as well

Good news, 3 and Dawn of Dreams next! Ok getting ahead of myself, but it'd be good to play these again. Looking forward to the new entry as well.

Gona drip feed us the last 3 games before the new one comes out. I am ready

i'm glad this series is finally starting to get some love

I gave up hope of remasters for the Onimusha sequels considering Warlords was years ago now.
I wonder what took them so long? I thought the sales were softer than they'd like and they chose not to bother (particularly with actor likenesses), but obviously not with the new game.

Really happy about this actually, I only ever got to play the original back on PS2 and lost interest in gaming fora while not long after. Picked up the remaster of the original a couple of years ago and will definitely be picking this one up
