Capcom Says its Planning More IP Revivals in Addition to Onimusha and Okami

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that Capcom’s recent announcements have rekindled a nostalgic spark within me. The revival of the Onimusha and Okami franchises is like a breath of fresh air, transporting me back to the golden age of gaming.

Capcom boasts a wealth of classic IP that have been inactive for quite some time, yet they’re still thriving with hits like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, and others. However, fans are always eager for more content, and it seems their wishes might be granted. At The Game Awards, Capcom made not just one, but two exciting announcements that delighted the crowd: the long-awaited returns of the Onimusha and Okami series. It’s intriguing to note that we can anticipate similar revivals in the future.

In a press release posted on their website, Capcom announced Onimusha: Way of the Sword and an unnamed Okami sequel. Moreover, they expressed their intention to breathe new life into additional franchises that have been inactive for some time.

According to a recent statement, Capcom not only consistently puts out significant new games annually but also aims to breathe life into old franchises that haven’t seen a new release. The company is striving to boost its overall worth by utilizing its extensive collection of content, some of which includes re-introducing past IPs like the ones mentioned, in order to consistently produce top-quality, efficiently made titles.

For quite some time now, there has been a significant number of Capcom’s properties that have been absent from the scene but still maintain substantial fan bases, eagerly waiting for a comeback. Interestingly, this year, Capcom conducted a survey to gauge player interest in reviving several dormant properties. Besides _Onimusha_ and _Okami_, other Capcom franchises like _Dino Crisis_, _Breath of Fire_, _Dead Rising_, _Lost Planet_, and more were mentioned in the survey, offering a glimmer of hope for their potential resurgence.

Absolutely, earlier this year, we welcomed the return of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, and there’s a possibility that more Dead Rising games might resurface as well. Additionally, Dragon’s Dogma 2 made its debut this year, returning after over a decade. It seems Capcom is keen on reviving its franchises, so let’s hope for even more of these comebacks in the coming months.
