Capcom announces new Onimusha titles

Capcom has today revealed two new titles in the Onimusha series; the proper sequel to the series, Onimusha 3, as well as a brand new title called Onimusha Buraiden. Onimusha 3 will be taking the series in a bold new direction, this time bringing it into a modern day France of the year 2004, instead of the typical feudal Japan setting. Along with the return of Samanosuke, the new game will also co-star a new character named Jaque Bran.

Buraiden on the other hand, will be a totally different kind of game. The game will apparently be a multi-player fighting game in the vein of Super Smash Bros. Melee, featuring characters from the Onimusha series. No release date has been given yet for either title, but you can be sure we'll keep you updated. In the mean time, check out Capcom's official site for media and further details of both titles.


Special thanks to forum member mattvanstone for the tip.

Yeah, I saw the pics on the site, and they look excellent. The stlye, quality, colors, everything look amazing :)

I'm huge Capcom fan(ha, like no one noticed :)), and their upcoming games, look so good.

Yeah, even though I didn't care too much for the first one or the genre, I'm quite interested in both games. The new setting for Onimusha is so much better imo, and they both look great graphically :)
