Capcom Shows More Onimusha

Although Onimusha: Demon Warrior will probably not be making an appearance at next month's E3, Capcom has released a slew of new screens. Set in an age of Civil War in Japan, when Nobunaga Oda ruled, the highly anticipated new game will bring Resident Evil gameplay to the medieval age.

Flagship, Yoshiki Okamoto's company, is developing Onimusha. The game's premise revolves around a kidnapped cousin of your character who needs to be rescued. To save your cousin, you must explore an ominous castle. And in typical Resident Evil fashion, this castle will include an abundance of traps, puzzles, and other obstacles.

Onimusha will be released this winter in Japan, with a US release date expected to follow sometime in 2000. These screens are courtesy of Japanese magazine The PlayStation.
