Capcom’s recent strategy of bringing back its beloved yet inactive game series appears to be yielding impressive results. The new Onimusha title, ‘Way of the Sword,’ which launched on PC and consoles just last week, has quickly become a significant success for the publisher. The game achieved a remarkable milestone, selling one million copies on its very first day of availability. This strong debut further boosts the entire franchise’s total sales, pushing it past ten million units overall, a notable achievement for a property that had largely been out of the spotlight for an extended period.

This remarkable performance from a reactivated series clearly demonstrates the potential in Capcom’s approach of revisiting dormant intellectual properties. The overwhelmingly positive reception and robust sales figures for ‘Way of the Sword’ could well pave the way for the company to explore a resurgence for other classic game franchises that fans have long hoped to see return. Such successes only fuel anticipation regarding which beloved titles Capcom might decide to bring back next.
