The series' gameplay was very similar to Resident Evil, another Capcom title. The game followed Samanosuke, a Sengoku era Japanese samurai that faced the forces of Nobunaga Oda, who aligned himself with demons. The first entry in the Onimusha series was Onimusha: Warlords, a game released for the PS2 in 2001. It may be the trademark is for another Pachinko machine or mobile title, as opposed to a new console and PC game. There are no details beyond this and, as of yet, Capcom has not indicated any intention to bring back the series. The trademark was spotted by NeoGAF user Miku, who noted that it was not a renewal, but an entirely new registration.

Capcom has registered a new trademark for Onimusha, sparking speculation that the PlayStation 2-era action game series may be making a comeback.
