For the uninitiated, the game's plot is set in the Sengoku period and players take control of two characters - Samanosuke Akechi and Kaede. They have to fight against the forces of Nobunaga Oda and save Princess Yuki.

While Onimusha is definitely a great game that will be experienced by many gamers for the first time with this remaster, the game has not aged too well. A remake would have been a great idea at a time like this. But I guess, Capcom had their hands full with another remake!

We’re confident that we’re creating an MMORPG for fans of the genre, and one that they’ll be proud to call home later this year.” said Westley Conner, Producer on Astellia at Barunson. “We know the fear that so many MMOs wind up as Pay-2-Win in this genre, and we’re committed to making sure that Astellia never veers in that direction. Instead, we’re all about Play-to-Win, and we can’t wait to explain how at PAX South.”
