Capcom says it will revive additional dormant game franchises following strong sales for Onimusha: Way of the Sword. According to reporting from multiple outlets, the company made the announcement in a blog post on its official website after the game sells over 1 million copies within a day of launch.
The outlets agree on the basic timing and rationale: Capcom links its next revival efforts to the commercial performance of the Onimusha title. Engadget frames the decision as a move to bring back “forgotten” intellectual properties, while Vice emphasizes Capcom’s plan to restore more dormant IP following the success milestone. Both accounts describe the announcement as forward-looking, without listing specific franchises to be revived or outlining release dates. The reports focus on Capcom’s stated intent and the sales figure that triggered the decision, rather than broader changes to the company’s strategy.
