Introducing "Hell" mode.

Capcom has released a new trailer for the remastered version of PlayStation 2 title Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, featuring director Motohide Eshiro who introduces the new “Hell” mode.

Here are the latest details:

The trailer showcased the Director’s Cut featuring Motohide Eshiro and the all-new “Hell” mode. In this mode players will experience a challenging new difficulty for only the bravest of samurai where a single hit means instant death. Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny returns with an enhanced remaster set to captivate a new generation.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, the highly acclaimed, best-selling hack and slash game from Capcom’s classic samurai action series, originally released in 2002 and combines rich narrative and intense demon-slaying combat that made it a standout in the Onimusha franchise. Blending historical figures and supernatural folklore in feudal Japan, the story follows a new hero, master swordsman Jubei Yagyu, who sets out on a quest to defeat Nobunaga Oda and his army of demons. As players engage in intense swordplay, they must also make choices that impact the narrative in unexpected ways.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny also features a range of new game mechanics, including an affinity system with Jubei’s allies and branching narrative paths along with new quality-of-life features such as the ability to swap weapons without pausing the action and the power to choose when Jubei transforms into an Onimusha. Modern improvements like auto-saves, skippable cutscenes, multiple aspect ratios, and more are included, along with an in-game gallery expansion with 100 newly added pieces of artwork and the original soundtrack.
Additionally, Capcom revealed a special bonus for players who pre-order Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny or pick up the “Onimusha 1+2 Pack” bundle early, which will include the “Onimusha 2: Orchestra Album Selection Pack,” featuring orchestral music tracks and helpful in-game items. Players with save data from the 2019 remaster of Onimusha: Warlords can also unlock a special outfit for Jubei inspired by Samanosuke, the protagonist from the original game.
