  • Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny remaster now has a free demo available on PC and all major consoles.
  • Try out updated HD graphics, modern controls, and classic samurai action in feudal Japan.
  • Remaster includes new gallery mode, digital soundtrack, and challenging Hell mode difficulty.
  • Minigames, auto-save, easy weapon switch, and extra features debut in this enhanced re-release.

Capcom released a new free demo this week for Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, giving players a chance to try out the remaster for themselves. The move is a little odd because this version of the gamehas already been released, as it came out nback in late May 20205 along with a remaster of the first game. Best we can surrmise is that its their way of getting you hyped about Onimusha: Way of the Sword coming in 2026, and maybe enticing you to get the remasters over the holiday season. The demo is available right now on PC via Steam and all three major consoles.
