New Onimusha Trademark Registered By Capcom

Capcom has registered a new trademark for Onimusha, sparking speculation that the PlayStation 2-era action game series may be making a comeback. The trademark was noticed by NeoGAF user Miku, who observed that it was not a renewal, but an entirely new registration.  

There are no details beyond this and, as of yet, Capcom has not indicated any intention to bring back the series. It may be the trademark is for another Pachinko machine or mobile title, as opposed to a new console and PC game. The first entry in the Onimusha series was Onimusha: Warlords, a game released for the PS2 in 2001. The game followed Samanosuke, a Sengoku era Japanese samurai that faced the forces of Nobunaga Oda, who aligned himself with demons.
