‘Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny’ Remaster Out Now on PC, Consoles [Trailer]

After the reveal earlier this year, Capcom has made their remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny available now for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC via Steam. The remaster of the 2002 PlayStation 2 classic sports enhanced graphics and modern upgrades, as well as the all-new “Hell” Mode difficulty.

The best-selling entry in the Onimusha series, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny follows the gripping journey of Jubei Yagyu, a master swordsman whose home village was decimated by Nobunaga Oda and his formidable army of demons. Gifted with Oni powers after a mysterious encounter, Jubei sets out on a path of vengeance, vowing to punish and defeat the evil Nobunaga.

The classic returns with enhanced HD visuals and introduces a variety of new features and quality-of-life updates:

• Modern Gameplay Upgrades: With added features like newly refined controls, seamless weapon switching, auto-save, skippable cut-scenes, and high-resolution visuals, this remaster offers a smoother and more intuitive modern gaming feel while staying true to the original classic samurai action experience.
• More Difficulty Options: Take on the all-new “Hell” mode for a challenging test of your samurai combat skills. Try your best to block, dodge, and execute counter attacks, because just one hit may result in an immediate game over. Players who want to sit back and immerse themselves in the samurai story can also try “Easy” mode, now available from the start of the game.
• Expanded In-Game Gallery: Uncover more than 100 newly added pieces of classic artwork and 43 soundtrack selections from the original game in the expanded gallery.
• Mini-Games Unlocked from the Start: Previously available only after completing the game, players can now enjoy numerous mini-games, including: The Man in Black, Team Oni, and Puzzle Phantom Realm at any time.

Additionally, players with save data from the 2019 remaster of Onimusha: Warlords can also unlock a special outfit for Jubei inspired by Samanosuke, the protagonist from the original game.
