Capcom Teases More Retro Revivals As Onimusha: WotS Hits 1 Million Day-One Sales
Capcom has just confirmed that Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been as much a commercial success as it has been a critical one—Way of the Sword has a Steam review rating of 87% positive, and a Metascore of 85—with the gaming giant announcing on September 7 that Way of the Sword has sold over 1 million units on its launch day. Notably, way of the Sword is first new mainline game in the Onimusha franchise in 20 years, following the 2006 launch of Dawn of Dreams.
In the announcement confirming over a million sales on the latest Onimusha game, Capcom also announced that it "is focusing on re-activating IPs that haven't had a new title launch recently," and will be "working to further maximize corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content." This confirms once more that Capcom will be pursuing not just remakes, like the alleged Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil 1, but also new installments in its classic game franchises, like Marvel vs. Capcom or Dead Rising.
