The remaster of Onimusha 2 will include a new difficulty mode

Capcom has announced a new difficulty mode titled Hell for the remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, which will be released on May 23. This extremely challenging mode will push players to their limits, as they will receive lethal damage, returning to the last checkpoint with each hit. Motohide Eshiro, the game’s director, describes that “the name says it all,” and invites everyone to try this experience that, according to him, is not for the faint of heart.

A version that aims to make the original game more accessible

The remastered version will include quality of life features, such as auto-saves and a smoother weapon switching, which promises to significantly enhance the gaming experience. This is a relief for fans of the saga, especially after the series was difficult to access on PlayStation 2 consoles. The arrival of these games on Steam will not only make access easier but will also increase the library of available titles, doubling the number of Onimusha games on the platform compared to the original release six years ago.

Eshiro also shared his personal connection to the game, mentioning his desire for everyone to explore the world of Onimusha. The development and dedication he has put into the project are evident, and he adds that the experience of being in charge of the first game has left a special mark on him. Fans won’t have to wait long to experience these changes, as pre-orders are already available on Steam.

With the announcement of Hell mode and improvements in the remastering, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny promises an exciting return for veterans of the series and a great opportunity for new players, especially those familiar with soulslike-style games.
