Jean Reno Open to Reprise Role in Onimusha 3 Remaster

Capcom's Onimusha franchise is experiencing a revival with recent remasters, and fans are eagerly hoping for an Onimusha 3: Demon Siege remaster. Actor Jean Reno, who played Jacques Blanc in the original game, expressed his enthusiasm to reprise his role if a remaster becomes a reality. As the remaster trend continues with Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny officially announced, Reno's involvement could enhance the nostalgic appeal for long-time fans, following a similar approach seen in past remasters. While there's currently a lengthy wait for this dream remaster, the strong interest from both the actor and fans suggests that Capcom may eventually address this demand.

While there has been no official confirmation from Capcom regarding an Onimusha 3 remaster, the growing buzz and Jean Reno's willingness to return signal that it could be a possibility in the future, especially considering the successful remaster of Onimusha 2 already in the works.

The Onimusha series, first launched in 2001, combines action and adventure with a rich narrative set in a fantastical version of Japan during the Sengoku period. The franchise is known for its blend of historical figures with supernatural elements, and the third installment introduced unique time-travel mechanics. As the series gains renewed interest, fans are hopeful that both classic gameplay and beloved characters will make a comeback, promoting the series' enduring legacy within the gaming community.
