After talking to Capcom, I'm a lot more optimistic about Onimusha 3 getting a remaster
We need time-traveling Jean Reno on PC.
Capcom's recent report indicates that the majority of the company's profits now stem from PC gaming, a trend that has been growing since the release of Monster Hunter: World in 2018. This shift has prompted the Japanese developer to produce a mix of new games and remasters for PC, including popular titles such as Dead Rising and both Onimusha games.
The third game in the series, Onimusha 3, has been a subject of speculation regarding a potential remaster due to licensing costs and the inclusion of French actor Jean Reno's likeness. However, during an interview focused on the series' first new entry in years, Way of the Sword, Capcom producer Akihito Kadowaki expressed optimism about the possibility of remastering Onimusha 3 and its sequel, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.
Kadowaki's direct response to the question about remasters, which seemed more straightforward than anticipated, suggests that the company is considering rereleasing these titles. This news comes as a welcome development for fans of the series, who have grown accustomed to the success of Capcom's recent PC releases and the renewed interest in bringing back the Onimusha franchise.
