Capcom says it’s working on ‘re-activating other dormant IPs’ like Onimusha and Okami

Capcom has said it’s working on, “re-activating dormant IPs” following the announcements of Onimusha and Okami sequels this week.

On Thursday the Japanese development giant announced that it is developing a new entry in the Onimusha franchise, the first in several years. The game, which is set to release in 2026, will be a new entry in one of the many Capcom franchises that fans have requested new games from for some time.

Now, Capcom has said that it’s working on bringing more legacy franchises back in modern forms.

“In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently,” reads a statement on the company’s investor relations site.

“The company is working to further enhance corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, which includes reviving past IPs like the two titles announced above, in order to continuously produce highly efficient, high-quality titles.”

Earlier this year, the company asked what franchises that fans wanted to see return.

The publisher launched its ‘Super Elections’ survey in February

, asking players 10 questions about various aspects of Capcom.

One of these questions asks: “Are there any Capcom game series (including spin-off games) that you would like to see get a sequel or new game?” and gives 20 options.

At the time, Capcom shared a word cloud showing which games have appeared most often in the survey answers.

The words shown largest in the word cloud are those which have appeared most frequently, suggesting that Dino Crisis and Mega Man had been the most requested series.
