Renaissance of the classics: Capcom to bring back Onimusha and Okami, laying the groundwork for other franchises

The publisher announced that it will address “dormant” intellectual properties in the future to satisfy fan requests.

Capcom has many popular series that fans have long been waiting to see modernized. For example, Okami will receive a sequel after nearly two decades, and Onimusha will return with a new full-fledged project following the 2018 remaster.

Capcom claims that this is just the beginning, and the studio will continue to revive older franchises. While there is no exact information yet on which games will return, some of the most anticipated are Dino Crisis, Marvel vs. Capcom, and God Hand. The studio is working with renowned game director Hideki Kamiya (who recently left PlatinumGames), giving hope for a God Hand continuation.

Capcom also recently released a remaster of Dead Rising, which could mark the beginning of a new wave of remasters and remakes of classic games.
