Capcom is bringing a fan-favorite back to life by remastering the beloved PlayStation 2 classic, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, for the Nintendo Switch. This sequel to Onimusha: Warlords enjoyed remarkable success, with 2.1 million copies sold globally, earning it the title of the best-selling entry in the series.
The game introduces us to Jubei Yagyu, a new protagonist with a gripping story of revenge. What makes Jubei particularly interesting is that his character model is inspired by the late Yusaku Matsuda, a Japanese actor who gained fame in the 1980s for his memorable roles.
This remastered edition stays true to the original’s setting and gameplay mechanics but comes packed with new features and quality-of-life improvements specifically designed for today’s consoles, making it a must-play for both old fans and newcomers.
Mark your calendars because Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is set for a digital release on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch in 2025. Keep an eye out for the official trailer, which promises a sneak peek into this epic adventure revitalized for the modern era.
