Fans spot an unexplained wardrobe change in Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remaster

Capcom is bringing Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny Remaster to the Switch on May 23rd, 2025. We’ve gotten to see some new gameplay footage and trailers for the game leading up to launch, and change in particular has been pointed out by eagle-eyed fans.

As you can see in the comparison above, one of the game’s characters has seen a slight wardrobe change with the remaster. The original outfit from 2002 was a bit more risqué, while the 2025 version has subdued things somewhat by adding a sheer top. Capcom has not explained their reason for the wardrobe change, and now people are wondering if there are other changes/tweaks that the company is yet to reveal.

Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny tells an epic story that blends magical realism with accurate historical accounts of 16th-century feudal Japan. It begins 10 years later than the events in Onimusha: Warlords, after Nobunaga, an infamous Japanese warlord, has brutalized a village. Players take the role of the hero, a young warrior and master of the Yagyu Shinkage sword-fighting style who seeks revenge against Nobunaga. In the process, he will uncover his destiny.

Yagyuu Juyuubei, a traveling swordsman, has returned to his hometown only to find it under siege. The aggressor is none other than Nobunaga Oda, the same undead warlord who plagued the first game’s hero. Starting with only his sword and his surpreme combat skills, Yagyuu vows to defeat Nobunaga and free his homeland from terror.
