Capcom has announced during it’s latest Capcom Spotlight that a Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny remaster is on the way for modern platforms and I could not be more excited.

The game is slated for release this year and is coming to  Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4.

Here’s hoping that we will also get some modern improvements to the game making it easier for the games of today to get into and does well enough that Capcom also remasters the 3rd game we are just one more step away from getting a HD Jean Reno.

“Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny” was released on the PlayStation®2 in 2002.
The character model of the main character is based on the late Yusaku Matsuda, a Japanese actor who became famous in the 80s.
It’s an improvement over the original “Onimusha: Warlords” in every aspect: volume, action, and replay value, thanks to the main character’s allies. It sold a total of 2.1 million copies*, a record for the series.
Although it is a straight sequel, “Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny” features a completely new protagonist, so you can enjoy the game even if you haven’t played the first one.

This is a remaster of the tale of Jubei Yagyu’s revenge, retaining the setting and gameplay systems of the original game.
It returns to modern consoles with new features and quality-of-life improvements!

Does this announcement excite you as much as me be sure to let us know and for more from 1-Up be sure to check out our the story on EA Revealing Battlefield Labs.
