Capcom has just announced that Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is getting a remaster for consoles and PC sometime in 2025, with specifics on new features and changes to be announced at a later time. Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny expands on the original title with larger environments to explore, as well as new character interactions, enhanced swordplay, and more animated movies.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny tells a story that blends magical realism with accurate historical accounts of 16th-century feudal Japan, and begins 10 years later than the events in Onimusha: Warlords, after the infamous warlord Nobunaga, has brutalized a village. Players take the role of the hero, a young warrior and master of the Yagyu Shinkage sword-fighting style who seeks revenge against Nobunaga and will uncover his destiny in the process.
Yagyuu Juyuubei, a traveling swordsman, has returned to his hometown only to find it under siege. The aggressor is none other than Nobunaga Oda, the same undead warlord who plagued the first game’s hero. Starting with only his sword and his surpreme combat skills, Yagyuu vows to defeat Nobunaga and free his homeland from terror.
