Yoshinori Ono has revealed that an Onimusha reboot has been discussed at Capcom.
It has been reported that Capcom are in talks with Yoshinoro Ono about rebooting the PS2 franchise Onimusha, according to the Daily Star. Ono stated that he had “spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series. But fans should know that we’re not further down that road than the discussion phase.
Ono worked on the original game, mainly as the sound manager, but then worked as the producer for Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. Keiji Inafune was also a producer for the games.
“All I can do for now is reassure fans that conversations are happening at high levels,” Ono stated. “We realise the need for different series to maybe come back into the forefront and although there’s nothing to talk about right now, I’m sure in the future there will be news on variety of series that will keep the fans happy. Favourites are going to come back.”
Onimusha has had many games over the years, starting back in 2000 on PS2. The most recent release was Onimusha: Soul, which was debuted on PC in 2012. Capcom have registered a new trademark for the franchise back in December, according to GameRant. We will have to keep eyes on any news and see what happens in the future. Ono’s latest game, Street Fighter V, comes out next week on February 16th.
