The video features producer Kadowaki and game director Nihei giving their thought process of what's going into the creation of this series-reviving title.

In the same program, an upcoming remaster of the 2002 title Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny was featured!
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny was first released in 2002 for the PlayStation®2.
With the protagonist Jubei Yagyu who is visually based on popular 1980s movie star Matsuda Yusaku, Onimusha 2: Samura's Destiny has slick action gameplay, and a wide cast of characters to befriend and ally with. While a worthy sequel in its own right, this game focuses on a different protagonist than Samanosuke from Onimusha: Warlords, so players can jump straight into Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny.
Further details will be released in the coming days, so stay tuned!
