Heaven or Hell, FIGHT
During today’s Future Games Spring Showcase Capcom detailed the Hell mode difficulty for Onimusha 2, which releases on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC on May 23rd
Onimusha™ 2: Samurai’s Destiny, the highly acclaimed, best-selling hack and slash game from Capcom’s classic samurai action series, originally released in 2002 and combines rich narrative and intense demon-slaying combat that made it a standout in the Onimusha franchise. Blending historical figures and supernatural folklore in feudal Japan, the story follows a new hero, master swordsman Jubei Yagyu, who sets out on a quest to defeat Nobunaga Oda and his army of demons. As players engage in intense swordplay, they must also make choices that impact the narrative in unexpected ways.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny also features a range of new game mechanics, including an affinity system with Jubei’s allies and branching narrative paths along with new quality-of-life features such as the ability to swap weapons without pausing the action and the power to choose when Jubei transforms into an Onimusha. Modern improvements like auto-saves, skippable cutscenes, multiple aspect ratios, and more are included, along with an in-game gallery expansion with 100 newly added pieces of artwork and the original soundtrack.
Additionally, Capcom revealed a special bonus for players who pre-order Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny or pick up the “Onimusha 1+2 Pack” bundle early, which will include the “Onimusha 2: Orchestra Album Selection Pack,” featuring orchestral music tracks and helpful in-game items. 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.
