Capcom at The Game Awards on Thursday announced it is reviving two of its older IPs. This includes a sequel to Okami and Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
The company in a press release posted on its investor relations page said it is working on reviving older IPs that haven't had a new release in a while.
"In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently," said Capcom.
"The company is working to further enhance corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, which includes reviving past IPs like the two titles announced above, in order to continuously produce highly efficient, high-quality titles.
"Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences."
Capcom has a variety of IPs that haven't seen a recent release including Dino Crisis and Mega Man.

Hopefully that includes Mega Man, and they take Mega Man in a somewhat more ambitious direction than the usual "Fight 8 Robot Masters and defeat Dr. Wily again." formula.
I know Capcom gotta be working on some BoF collection after seeing Grandia, FF, DQ, Suikoden, Lunar, etc doing these retro ports.
Still want to believe in a RE2 & RE3 HD Remaster. I'd buy them even at 100 bucks each if they're as good as RE 1 & 0.
Their library is amazing and with their newer engines, I hope that can do this. I know the meme is about Dino Crisis but Star Gladiator, Rival Schools and Breath of Fire would all be welcome too.
I feel like we hear this every few months from different gaming companies and yet nothing happens.
