It followed Samanosuke, a Sengoku era Japanese samurai that faced the forces of Nobunaga Oda, who had aligned himself with demons. The first game in the Onimusha series was Onimusha: Warlords, a game released for the PS2 in 2001. The trademark was not a renewal, but an entirely new registration, sparking speculation the PlayStation 2-era action game series may be making a comeback. In December 2015, Capcom registered a new trademark for Onimusha. He added: ' favourites are going to come back.'

We 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 a variety of series that will keep the fans happy.' 'All I can do for now is reassure fans that conversations are happening at high levels. 'Right now, I'm so focused on Street Fighter V that I'm not really in a position to start that same level of battle that I had Street Fighter IV made. Ono emphasised that, currently, a new Onimusha project had not progressed past the early discussion phase, as he was too busy with Street Fighter V to have the battles necessary to get the ball rolling. 'I've spoken internally with people who made Onimusha with me originally and talked about maybe how interesting it would be to revisit that series.' 'Capcom as a company know we have many brands, IPs and series that are beloved by players around the world, and we always have fans asking when is this or that coming back,' he said.

He added that he'd discussed a potential revival with members of the series' development team. Speaking in an interview with The Daily Star, Ono-who served as producer on the samurai-versus-demons action game series-indicated returning to the property was something he's interested in.
