Capcom is reviving more dormant franchises after the success of Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Capcom has announced plans to revitalize several of its long-dormant intellectual properties following the impressive commercial performance of Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The game, which recently launched to significant acclaim, surpassed one million copies sold in its opening window. This success has provided the company with the confidence to revisit its extensive back catalog of classic titles that have remained untouched for years. While Capcom has not yet specified which franchises are slated for a comeback, the move signals a strategic shift toward leveraging nostalgia and established fan bases. Industry analysts suggest that this decision reflects a broader trend among major publishers to monetize legacy content through remakes, remasters, or sequels. Fans are already speculating about potential candidates for revival, as Capcom continues to build on the momentum generated by its recent string of successful releases.
