Back in April of last year, rumours about a new
Onimusha game were doing the rounds as Capcom was filing trademarks for the long-neglected, but never forgotten franchise.
As it turns out, Capcom wasn't planning a new game but an HD remaster of the classic
Onimusha: Warlords released on the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2001; as revealed by the developer in August of last year
Onimusha: Warlords was being developed for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam.
This new remaster isn't just enhancing the game's visuals, since it is also implementing analog stick controls, adding widescreen support for 16:9 televisions, and allowing players to change their weapons on the spot during combats.

Onimusha: Warlords becomes available for home consoles and Steam today, Capcom has released a new action-packed trailer that goes over the game's new features to celebrate the occasion; as the perfect excuse for seasoned players to replay the game, and encourage newcomers to try this timeless classic.
