Does The Onimusha: Warlords Remaster Mean We’re Getting Onimusha 5?

Onimusha 5

Yesterday Capcom announced that Onimusha: Warlords was getting the remaster treatment, which was an announcement that longtime fans were thrilled to hear. While there were rumors that something was in the works earlier this year, hearing the official announcement was still fantastic and we’re getting a remaster early next year now.

However, while it’s great that longtime fans will be able to play an improved version and new fans will be able to experience it for the first time, what’s next for the series? It has been over a decade since a new installment was released, with Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams being the last game to release back in 2006. While that game was well-reviewed, it didn’t quite live up to the standards of the first three games, particularly the Samanosuke-lead ones. After that, the series basically disappeared.

If there’s one thing we know, though, it’s that nothing is gone forever in video games. Whenever a remaster for an older game is announced, it usually means that something new from the series is in the planning stages, at the very least. While there’s plenty of evidence to support this, we can point to another major Capcom property with Devil May Cry. Long before Devil May Cry 5 was announced earlier this year Capcom had been working on remasters of the original games, which was a move that also had people speculating about a new game. The very same could be the case for Onimusha.

What’s interesting to note here is that Capcom isn’t releasing the games as a remastered set, with the announcement only being for the first game. Considering that there are four games in total (as well as the Blade Warriors fighting game spin-off and a Game Boy Advance Tactics game), it will be interesting to see where they go from here. It’s possible that they’re just releasing the first game as a way to test the waters, and if the feedback and sales are strong they’ll go ahead with the others.

It’s all speculation at this point, but it would be excellent to see this series back in the mix again. The games offered great action adventure experiences that had some really interesting settings, with historic figures from Japanese history getting a supernatural twist.

Onimusha: Warlords is being remastered for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, with the price set for $19.99 and the release date set for January 15th.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
