<p>The cult classic samurai adventure series <em>Onimusha</em> has been lying dormant for over half a decade now after instalment number 4, <em>Dawn Of Dreams</em>. Popular with critics, insanely popular with its fans and Capcom&#8217;s sixth biggest franchise (with 7.6 million copies sold worldwide); it&#8217;s fallen by the wayside as of late thanks to nobody making any games for the series.</p>
<p>Well, if rumours are to be believed, that won&#8217;t be for much longer. According to UK games magazine PSM3, the series may be getting a fifth official entry. This one being handled by the folks at Spark Unlimited, best known so far for <em>Call Of Duty: Finest Hour</em> (the PS2 <em>CoD</em>, if you&#8217;re wondering), <em>Turning Point: Fall Of Liberty</em> and <em>Legendary</em>.</p>
<p>If you hardcore <em>Onimusha</em> fans are weeping at that prospect, then maybe you&#8217;ll want to hold off on those tears for Spark have experience with rescuing Capcom series that people had previously written off as not having a chance at a half decent comeback. They&#8217;re currently handling <em>Lost Planet 3</em>, which is actually shaping up to be half decent. Plus, Team Ninja have handed the reins of the upcoming <em>Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z</em> to them, too.</p>
<p>Now, none of this is confirmed (there&#8217;s a reason why I specified &#8220;rumour&#8221; earlier on), but it might not be so bad if it was. What say you, readers? Want an <em>Onimusha</em> comeback now, or have it held off and handed to somebody more proven?</p>
