Onimusha: Way Of The Sword & Dragon's Dogma 2 Coming To Switch 2 This Year

"Dark Arisen."

Again?

Love the first Dragon's Dogma, will definitely get this one a whirl. Onimusha 4 is definitely one I will keep an eye on though.

Capcom is absolutely going crazy on Switch 2, very glad to see them committing hard to the system

Here I hoped for Onimusha 3 on Switch 1 and instead they're giving us Onimusha 5 on Switch 2. I'll take it! Still... Capcom, just give us Onimusha 3 on Switch 1 as well, having Jean Reno in this game was incredible. I hoped for Ninja Gaiden 4 but maybe next time. Fantastic Direct! Capcom is carrying Switch 2 to a large degree. Phenomenal company. I'm getting Switch 2 with a replaceable battery as soon as it hits the market.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, and especially this generation. Having this on the Switch 2 is a dream come true for me — it looks excellent.

Ha ha! To those who told me Dragon’s Dogma 2 wouldn’t come to NS2, 😛

Dragon's Dogma 2 on Switch 2? Jeez Louise! That's brilliant news.

I love you Capcom. I was all resigned to buy Onimusha on Series X and here you come with the SAVE! Also expansion to Dragon’s Dogma 2?! YES! Inject it into my veins! Gonna have to copy my arisen and pawn. I loved DD2 and played through it twice. Maybe I will change romances this time around. I love how the cycle is kinda broken at this point but the world (trying to avoid spoilers here) keeps trying to make folks play their part.

I hope they remove the nerf on Dragonsplague. I liked when you had to sleep with one eye open around pawns.

Annoucing the long-awaited D2 expansion in a tiny snippet of a Direct is wild.

I still haven't been able to play the first Dragon's Dogma (even though I have it on Steam and Switch 1), and they've already announced the second one, which I didn't expect them to do, but if they did, it's because Capcom is doing very well on Nintendo. Releasing Devil May Cry 5 without releasing the fourth one first would be sacrilege, the same goes for Onimusha 3.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is on my radar, missed it on Steam for a reason.

Dragon's Dogma 2 makes the PS5 grind to a halt at times, that will be an interesting Switch 2 port. The game really pushes the RE engine far more than something like Requiem, which was pretty much a locked 60fps on PlayStation for me. I like the game and it's really cheap 2nd hand on PS5 (I paid £10), but I did put it on hold a while back.

I've always had a passing interest in the Dragon's Dogma series but never have jumped yet. It may be time for me to change that. Though I'll likely try the first game before thinking about this one.

@Tyranexx While DD2 is in many ways a soft reboot (literally points that out in the title screen lol) I personally think the feel of the world and the weave of its mythos makes more sense if you play the first one (and it is usually cheap). DD2 does imo go out of its way to explain itself though. However you can walk in with 2 and be fine. Just some stuff will hit differently.

I absolutely loved Dragon's Dogma 1 on Switch, even with its compromises. This one looks much more visually on par with its counterpart ports - though how it holds up with regards to performance will remain to be seen. I'm pretty stoked about it, though, based on the trailer.

Tbh, I've never even heard of Onimusha, but its graphical style is impressive to say the least.

Day one both of them!

I can't wait for Onimusha, it looks amazing, and I haven't played DD2 yet because I hoped it would come to Switch 2. Yayyyy! I'm so happy ^^

Eww dragons dogma like they still haven't fixed the performance issues and bugs 😑

@Ryu_Niiyama I appreciate the heads up. I see the first game go on sale now and then, and I've heard a lot of good things. Might give the first game a whirl first and see what I think. Just not sure when that'll be yet.

They'll have to mess the DD2 port up pretty bad to dampen my enthusiasm for it. The expansion being called Dark Arisen is more evidence that DD2 was always intended to be remake, or at least reattempt, at DD1. If what it offers is as good as Bitterblack Isle was in the first game, though, then I'll have no complaints.

@Chimichanga
This and wh40k space marine if decent port will rise the bar not more excuse for developers to say their game wont run on sw2

This was my most played game of 2024 on the PS5. Really tempted to buy it again for Switch 2. It’s a great game and the endgame was a real surprise.

One of the most exciting and interesting port prospects for Switch 2, especially from the incredibly demanding Dragon's Dogma 2. It'll be interesting to see how it stacks up across both of its modes and other platforms.

The new Onimusha looks great, though the Switch 2 version looks like it went through the wash, looking a bit dull & faded.
That being said, Capcom is still amazing, the best publisher on the Switch 2 without a doubt. Honestly, they should give Nintendo a few pointers.

These are the kinda games I'd check out if they got a physical release, but I have no interest in buying them digitally or via GKC.

I've never played Onimushu but the trailer looks great. Is it a souls like? Can anyone recommend? Thanks

Onimusha: Way Of The Sword's Nintendo Switch 2 release is making me potentially reconsidering getting it on PS5 as long as there aren't huge drawbacks. I was pleasantly surprised by that announcement.

Nintendo is still doing about 1 release per month somehow, but Capcom themselves is releasing one game every 2 months or so. They and RGG Studio should be studied.
