Capcom has announced an exciting return for fans of classic games: they are bringing back Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, originally a beloved PlayStation 2 game, now being remastered for the Nintendo Switch.
As a direct sequel to Onimusha: Warlords, this game quickly captivated players worldwide, boasting an impressive sales record of 2.1 million copies, making it the top-selling title in the Onimusha series.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is set to launch digitally on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch, with a global release planned for 2025. Keep an eye out—this could be a wonderful blast from the past for both new and returning players alike.
