Capcom Announces Revivals of Okami and Onimusha, Plans to Resurrect More Dormant Franchises

The company aims to leverage its library of classic IPs for future high-quality game releases, starting with sequels to fan-favorite titles.

Capcom revealed new installments for the Okami and Onimusha franchises during The Game Awards, marking the return of these long-dormant series.
The company announced a broader strategy to revive inactive intellectual properties alongside its regular release of major new titles each year.
Capcom's investor relations update emphasized enhancing corporate value through its rich catalog of classic games, though no additional IPs were confirmed at this time.
Fans have expressed strong interest in other dormant franchises like Dino Crisis and Mega Man Legends, with Dino Crisis receiving significant votes in a recent Capcom poll.
The Okami sequel will reunite the franchise with its creator, Hideki Kamiya, who is leading development under a new studio, Clovers.
