More On: Onimusha: Warlords

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.
