New Onimusha game is 'worth considering' admits Capcom and Resident Evil 7 producer | PS4, Xbox, Nintendo Switch News, Reviews and Features - Daily Star Capcom Producer suggests an Onimusha reboot is "worth considering"

Beloved Capcom game Onimusha: Warlords was hugely popular back in the day on PlayStation 2 and was arguably one of the best samurai action-adventure games of it's kind.

It spawned multiple sequels but the original game became the PS2's first title to sell over a million copies. Eventually, it went on to surpass two million units worldwide.

However, since the 2006 release Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams the series has gone pretty much AWOL.

There's been talk of a possible revival for the game on multiple occasions, but Capcom has not shown any hunger to revisit Onimusha in quite some time.

Last year, Daily Star Online sat down with Capcom legend Yoshinori Ono - a man who worked extensively on Onimusha - and asked if there was any headway on bringing the beloved game back into the fold for a next-gen reboot.

More recently we received something of an update from Resident Evil 7 Producer Masachika Kawata. Onimusha: Warlords Screenshot

"I've spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series," added Ono at the time.

More recently we had the chance to speak with Resident Evil 7 Producer Masachika Kawata, another long-standing Capcom employee who was also involved with Onimusha: Warlords many moons ago.

Again, asked if there was anything further he could tell us about a return for the series and was given a positive, albeit fruitless response.

"Certainly, the series was a big hit back in the day and I do think there is something in that, which is worth considering," Masachika told us.

However, when asked if anything further was being discussed at Capcom following Ono's admission last year that "Conversations are happening at high levels," Masachika Kawata had little else to add.

"Whether or not anything is happening, I cannot say." explained an honest looking Kawata.

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard (PS4/PSVR)

Resident Evil 7 received a flawless score when it was released back in January and the game is currently in the process of releasing it's various DLC extras.

DLC Banned Footage Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 launched earlier this week on Xbox One and Steam with both volumes also available for players who purchased either the Deluxe Edition or Season Pass previously.

Each pack includes two banned footage scenarios and an extra mode for the game.

Vol. 1 includes “Nightmare,” “Bedroom” and “Ethan Must Die”, while Vol. 2 includes “Daughters”, “21,” and “Jack’s 55th Birthday”

Director of Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Koshi Nakanishi said “Resident Evil 7 features a blend of horror, combat and puzzle-solving, so I wanted to use the DLC to explore each of those concepts separately in depth”.

“As with the main game, the found footage tape idea lets us explore things that didn’t happen all in sequence, but rather to different people at different times.  So players can start a DLC tape and not be sure where they even are – and of course, it means the player can die at the end," continued Nakanishi.

"In Bedroom, I wanted to show Marguerite in detail and give players a chance to finally try the food she got so upset you didn’t eat in the dinner scene. You can literally eat it until it kills you”.
