Capcom has exciting news for gaming enthusiasts! The beloved samurai adventure, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, is set to make its grand return on the Nintendo Switch family of systems on May 23. Originally launched in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, this remaster promises to reignite the passion of fans and introduce new players to its thrilling world.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is back and better than ever! This remastered version not only retains the classic action-packed gameplay that fans adore but also boasts enhanced visuals and a suite of new quality-of-life features.

Among the exciting updates are additional difficulty settings, including a brutal new “Hell” mode where one hit means instant death. For those looking to enjoy the story without the intense challenge, an Easy mode is available right from the start. Players can seamlessly swap weapons mid-action and decide when Jubei transforms into an Onimusha, adding a fresh layer to the gameplay. Plus, modern enhancements like auto-saves, skippable cutscenes, and multiple aspect ratios ensure a smooth experience.

Pre-ordering Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny or snagging the “Onimusha 1 + 2 Pack” will reward players with the “Onimusha 2: Orchestra Album Selection Pack,” featuring orchestral tracks and helpful in-game items. If you’ve played the 2019 remaster of Onimusha: Warlords, you can even unlock a special outfit for Jubei inspired by Samanosuke, the original game’s hero!
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny isn’t just a remaster; it’s a journey back to a time when epic storytelling and gripping gameplay defined the gaming landscape. Join Jubei in his quest to vanquish Nobunaga Oda and his demonic army, and experience the best-selling entry in the Onimusha series like never before.
