Capcom Takes Onimusha to the Broswer

The last Onimusha game came out way back in 2006. Capcom always has better things to do seeing that their gaming franchises include Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. As the latter group of titles get frequent releases and development, it is not hard to imagine that Capcom has their hands full and is unable to devote any time to their other intellectual property.

However, there may be a way around this predicament. Rather than work on another full scale installment of Onimusha, Capcom will be using it to venture into the browser gaming market segment. The developers are looking to release Onimusha Souls, a browser game for both the PC and the smartphone. The game is expected to show up on 28th June 2012.

The game will mine the Sengoku era of Japan for its story, also used as the narrative bedrock by games such as Shogun 2, and players will assume the role of a daimyo as they compete with other regions. You can expect similar mystery solving gameplay as the previous titles to boot.

The move may be an interesting way to tap in to fringe fan bases. Every gamer has a title they love which for one reason or the other gets neglected by developers. The browser game format might actually represent an easy way for developers to satisfy gamers and the process is sure to not be as taxing as working on a full blown console and PC version.

Capcom has previously dabbled with the social and casual game segment with Smurf’s Village to great success. With smartphones being adopted like hotcakes and gamers being connected 24/7 a browser game seems like a smart way to monetize the neglected Onimusha franchise.
