Releasing Onimusha 2 again makes sense as a lead-up to the new game in the series, Way of the Sword, coming in 2026. It’s also a way to introduce the game to new players. I wish there were some new features or improvements, but it’s still nice to be able to play this game on modern devices. This also shows how Capcom has been keeping its classic games alive by re-releasing them over the past few years.
