Capcom has revealed its commitment to re-activating dormant intellectual properties as part of its strategy to expand its lineup of major releases. In a recent announcement, the company confirmed the development of Onimusha Way of the Sword, the first new title in the series in over two decades, alongside the start of a sequel project for the beloved Okami.
Highlighting its intentions, Capcom stated, “In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently.” This approach aligns with the company’s goal of catering to long-time fans while attracting new audiences through its extensive library of classic franchises.
The news about Onimusha: Way of the Sword is huge for fans who’ve been waiting forever for a new game. The same goes for Okami fans; with a sequel on the way, everyone’s buzzing about its unique art and story.
