Capcom recently announced an exciting update for fans of classic video games: it is bringing a remastered version of the beloved PlayStation 2 game, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, to the Nintendo Switch.
Following the success of its predecessor, Onimusha: Warlords, this direct sequel managed to capture the attention of gamers worldwide, selling a remarkable 2.1 million copies. Its popularity made it the top-selling title in the Onimusha series.
At the heart of the story is a new protagonist, Jubei Yagyu, who embarks on a gripping journey of revenge. Intriguingly, his character design takes inspiration from the late Yusaku Matsuda, a celebrated Japanese actor from the 1980s known for his impactful performances.
This enhanced version stays true to the original game’s setting and mechanics but introduces a range of modern features and quality-of-life improvements, making it accessible and enjoyable for today’s gaming audience.
Gamers can expect to get their hands on the digital release of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny via the Nintendo eShop in 2025, offering the chance to experience this classic in a fresh yet familiar way.
