According to the Japanese media (below), Capcom filed a new trademark for Onimusha earlier this month under online game. The last Onimusha core game, Dawn of Dreams, came out in 2006, and mediocre web games have followed since. Capcom has found success with Dragons Dogma Online in Japan on both consoles and PC, hence a F2P Onimusha game might be seem so far-fetched after all.

Is this the continuation of the previous trademark file?

GarciaHotspur · Dec 7, 2015

After mobile. F2P is the new enemy.

TheSpoiler · Dec 7, 2015

Could online game mean multiplayer and not MMO?

Or an inclusion of multiplayer?

EGOMON · Dec 7, 2015

Ffs capcom this is not what we asked for ugh...
How hard is to make a sequel to Onimusha games

E_Darkness · Dec 7, 2015

At least it isn't a mobile game.

Or pachislot

cw_sasuke · Dec 7, 2015

Not like this Capcom.

Where is Deep Down? lol

Abriael · Dec 7, 2015

That's baseless speculation born from lack how knowledge of how trademarks work.

The reason why i say that is that filing for class 9 (games) and 41 (online games) is the standard nowadays, as 41 is related to any online functionality. If you want to protect your trademark on any kind of online application, then you need class 41 as well. It doesn't in any shape or form point to a MMO, free to play or otherwise.

Other than that, the trademark is old. We already knew it was 9 and 41, like almost every game trademark, ever.

Whoever wrote that article is not only late to the party, but he's also dreadfully misinformed. He basically turned his own enormous logical jump into a non-existent "rumor."

I didn't ask for this............Capcom why.

dragonlife · Dec 7, 2015

Onimusha doesn't deserve this.

matrix-cat · Dec 7, 2015

Isn't Capcom all about HD remakes these days? I thought ruining beloved franchises with F2P games was more EA/Square's thing.

Tizoc · Dec 7, 2015

Well dragons dogma online is doing well if this gets the same team as ddo it'd be good

It could be massively, or not so massively multiplayer online game like GTA, Dragon's Dogma, or Monster Hunter for example.

Newtype-001 · Dec 7, 2015

NiOh will save us.

The Last One · Dec 7, 2015

Wonderful day.

Marvel · Dec 7, 2015

I don't want that!

Skrams · Dec 7, 2015

Well, I guess people were kind of close with guessing F2P Mobile.

I also guess something went right with Dragon's Dogma Online to warrant this?

Boogalogist · Dec 7, 2015

Panta Rhei engine repackaged?

I guess this is non-news then.

How many pages will we go without noticing this update?

I wanna say five.

Gotcha. An online focused Onimusha mode would be nice. Double Issen, baby.

Stilton Disco · Dec 7, 2015

Oh fuck off Capcom!

toastyToast · Dec 7, 2015

It's Onimusha, so yours is probably an optimistic prediction. I say 10.

THIS! So long as NiOH delivers, Capcom can keep shitting on Onimusha. I've long since stopped expecting them to understand what their fans want, notwithstanding RE2 remake.

Ghost Slayer · Dec 7, 2015

Thanks for saving us Koei

Miles Quaritch · Dec 7, 2015

Not like this, Crapcom.

Not like this...

Forkball · Dec 7, 2015

I'm not sure if Onimusha could survive in this gaming climate as a linear character action game. They obviously have to shake it up in some way.

Pretty sure this is not the way though.

mrmyhthef · Dec 7, 2015

So what I'm getting from the OP is online game trademark = f2p MMO.

Seems more like wishful thinking on the part of an MMO enthusiast site to me.

It could be any kind of online functionality. If you put an online leaderboard, or any kind of online service or feature, you need to file for class 41(online games).

Hell, a TON of developers and publishers file for class 41 "just in case" even when making a purely single player game.

This basically says nothing, other that Capcom still wants the "Onimusha" trademark, which we have known for over a week.

Indeed. The trademark indicates absolutely nothing like that.

You're probably right.

Jigorath · Dec 7, 2015

Yeah that seems about right.

TheSpoiler · Dec 7, 2015

You should update the OP, OP.

Booki · Dec 7, 2015

If this happens my money is going to Nioh.

I'm buying NIOH regardless. Giving me wicked Onimusha/souls vibes

Rumor: A Free-to-Play MMO version of Onimusha might be in the works

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
