Nothing reminds me that I'm getting old like early 2000's video games getting remastered. Capcom has just re-released an updated port of Onimusha: Warlords, the first game in a series that kicked off way back in 2001 on the PS2. The game was quite the hit back then, the first PS2 game to sell 1 million copies, and spawned a whole franchise. The remastered version naturally includes HD graphics, widescreen options, analog stick support, a new easy mode, re-scored soundtrack and a new in-game achievement system. This sounds like how you do a remaster up right.
You can pick up Onimusha: Warlords for $19.99 across all platforms, and in North America you can even score a physical copy for PS4 and Xbox One. Check out the launch trailer below.
The legendary samurai adventure Onimusha: Warlords returns today, launching for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Set in a feudal world filled with magic, samurais and demon warriors, this classic game is available digitally today on all formats across North America and Europe for MSRP $19.99/€19.99/£15.99. Fans in North America have the option to purchase physical copies of Onimusha: Warlords for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
This release of Onimusha: Warlords captures the thrilling action and cinematic story of the original 2001 release, which achieved over 2 million copies sold worldwide, with updated features fitting of today’s modern video game systems. The sword fighting action-adventure now includes high-definition graphics, widescreen display option, analog stick support, a readily available Easy Mode option, new soundtrack and a new ‘honor’ in-game achievement system.
To celebrate the release of Onimusha: Warlords, Capcom has revealed a brand-new Launch Trailer.
Onimusha: Warlords follows the battle-filled journey of samurai Samanosuke Akechi and ninja Kaede on a quest to save Princess Yuki from a legion of mysterious demons who have invaded Inabayama Castle. As the two travel throughout the castle, they unravel a malevolent plot by those who would serve the evil Nobunaga Oda, a feudal lord resurrected by the demons to fulfil their dark desires. Using sword-based combat, a magical Oni Gauntlet and puzzle solving, players need to call on both brawn and creativity to defeat the demonic foes and save Princess Yuki!
