Capcom is putting more effort into the Onimusha remaster than we thought

It’s getting re-recorded Japanese audio

After a lengthy hiatus the Onimusha series will return in 2019. Onimusha: Warlords, the first game in the series, is getting a remaster for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch, and as it turns out Capcom is putting in a little more effor𝐆t than most for its return.

The entire Japanese voice cast has been revealed by Famitsu, signaling that Capcom will be re-recording dialogue ౠfor the re🔯master. Samanosuke will once again be played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, the original voice of the character throughout the series. Several others, including the voice of the evil Nobunaga Oda, have changed: you can find the rest of the cast below.

Capcom is currently doing some interesting things with bringing back old properties, both remastering and remaking classics in the same breath: sometimes mixing the two within the same series (Resident Evil 1 got the former treatment while Resident Evil 2 is getting the latter). With the similarly structured Onimusha and Resident Evil getting another shot, it’s entirely possible that Capcom could revive Dino Crisis.
