In a new video, Capcom has revealed what’s new in the remaster of the second part of Onimusha.

The trailer showed off the Director’s Cut featuring Motohide Eshiro and the all-new Hell Mode. In this mode, players will experience a challenging new difficulty for only the bravest of samurai, where a single hit means instant death. Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny returns with an enhanced remaster set to captivate a new generation. Originally released in 2002, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, the highly acclaimed, best-selling hack and slash game in Capcom’s classic samurai action series, combines the rich storytelling 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, as he sets out to defeat Nobunaga Oda and his army of demons. As players engage in intense swordplay, they must also make decisions that affect the story in unexpected ways.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny also features a number of new gameplay mechanics, including an affinity system with Jubei’s allies and branching story paths, as well as 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 enhancements such as auto-saves, skippable cutscenes, multiple aspect ratios and more are included, as well as an in-game gallery expansion with 100 new pieces of artwork and the original soundtrack.

Capcom also 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 will also be able to unlock a special outfit for Jubei inspired by Samanosuke, the protagonist of the original game.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny’s Remaster will be released on May 23 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
