We’ve learned that Capcom is in some real talks to possibly revive the Onimusha series.

The news comes from an interview between UK site Daily Star (via VideoGamer) and Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono.

When speaking to the newspaper, Ono confirmed that he had “spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series. But fans should know that we’re not further down that road than the discussion phase.”

“All I can do for now is reassure fans that conversations are happening at high levels,” Ono said. “We [Capcom] realise the need for different series to maybe come back into the forefront and although there’s nothing to talk about right now, I’m sure in the future there will be news on variety of series that will keep the fans happy. [Fan’s] favourites are going to come back.”

It’s worth pointing out that Ono himself worked on the original Onimusha as a sound manager, prior to being promoted to a producer on Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams.
