Spark Unlimited is working on an “adventure series reboot,” for Capcom according the latest rumor in PSM3. That’s not all though: the game is supposedly Onimusha 4. No word on how they know this. Last year, Yoshinori Ono said it was time to resurrect the Onimusha series, but he would like to see it “progress beyond the standard single-player adventure,” he said. The last Onimusha console title was released in 2006. Thanks, CVG.

The Unreal Engine-based “action/slasher” will have a multiplayer component. Capcom has denied it has anything to do with it – so not Onimusha, then, but I put a picture on anyway because I’m kind of mean like that. Thoughts? Theories?
