However, Akechi is given another chance at life, and is handed the gauntlet of the Ogres. You play Samanosuke Akechi, who dies during an attempt to stop the kidnapping of young princess Yuki, the sister to Yoshitatsu Saito. Yoshinori Ono’s latest game, Street Fighter 5, will launch on February 16.Onimusha: Warlords is set in 16th century Japan during the period of the civil war dominated by Nobunaga Oda.

Capcom has given the HD treatment to Resident Evil, so perhaps an Onimusha remaster is on the cards. The idea of an Onimusha revival is pretty exciting. “We realise the need for different series to maybe come back into the forefront and although there’s nothing to talk about right now, I’m sure in the future there will be news on variety of series that will keep the fans happy.” Yoshinori Ono even had trouble with the popular Street Fighter franchise. Judging by this interview, Capcom are sceptical to confirm the production of high risk projects.

“Right now, I’m so focussed on Street Fighter V that I’m not really in a position to start that same level of battle that I had getting Street Fighter IV made.” “But fans should know that we’re not further down that road than the discussion phase.” “I’ve spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series.” Speaking to The Daily Star, Ono reflected on his time with the franchise and Capcom’s future plans.

This is all according to Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono, who has said higher-ups at Capcom are currently talking about the franchise. We haven’t seen a new Onimusha game for years now, but it seems the long-awaited retur could finally be on the way. The idea of an Onimusha revival is currently in discussion at the “high levels” of Capcom, according producer Yoshinori Ono.
