Capcom has announced that its classic PlayStation 2 title, Onimusha: Warlords is getting a HD remaster – and it’s heading to the Nintendo Switch. It’ll also be released on the other consoles and the PC too.
This remaster features HD graphics, widescreen support (or you can keep it 4:3 if you wish), a new easy mode, a brand new soundtrack and freshly recorded Japanese vocal.
The game is due out on January 15th 2019 and looks like it’ll be a digital-only release for the Switch in the west.
Step into a feudal world filled with magic, samurais, and demon warriors, as Onimusha: Warlords comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on January 15, 2019. Originally released in 2001, Onimusha: Warlords successfully blended thrilling action with a cinematic story to achieve over 2 million copies sold worldwide. Now Capcom brings the original sword fighting action title to current video game systems with updated features including high-definition graphics, widescreen display option, analog stick support, a readily available Easy Mode option, and new soundtrack.
The game will be available as a digital purchase across North America and Europe for MSRP $19.99 on all formats with a physical release in North America available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Onimusha: Warlords follows the battle-filled journey of samurai Samanosuke Akechi and ninja Kaede on a quest to save Princess Yuki from a legion of mysterious demons who have invaded Inabayama Castle. As the two travel throughout the castle, they unravel a malevolent plot by those who would serve the evil lord Nobunaga Oda. Using sword-based combat, a magical Oni Gauntlet and puzzle solving, players need to call on both brawn and creativity to defeat the demonic foes.
Makes sense to us.
It's Black, Back Again.
If these aren't the coolest graphics...
