After more than two decades, Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is back! First released in 2002 as a sequel to the critically acclaimed Onimusha: Warlords, this game expands on the original’s exhilarating Sengoku-era adventure by introducing a new story and protagonist — Jubei Yagyu, a samurai on a quest for revenge. 10 years after the events of Onimusha: Warlords, the demonic Nobunaga Oda’s strength has been restored, and his sights are set on conquering Japan, starting with Yagyu Village. When Jubei, returns to find his home in ruins, he sets out to bring Nobunaga to justice. On his quest, Jubei meets four individuals who can ally with and aid him on his journey. Give these allies various gifts to strengthen your affinity with them, have them help you in battle, and steer your adventure to different endings. There are many ways to obtain gifts, including buying them in shops, receiving them from other allies, and by finding them hidden throughout the game. Choose wisely which gifts you give to which ally, as they all have their own preferences. Giving enough of the right gifts to the right ally may even unlock them as a playable character for a portion of the game. We asked some of Capcom’s staff to choose their favorite gift reactions. Keep an eye out for them as you play the game! Ekei Ankokuji is a Buddhist priest, but he loves money, booze, and women, living a life of debauchery. You might think arts and entertainment wouldn’t be his style, but if you give him a huqin or folding fan, for example, he’ll promise to enchant you with a dance, with a wide smile. Magoichi Saiga is chief of the Kishu Saiga Gun Team. Fearless and keen of mind, he has a passion for books. He sounds like the type of guy to appreciate a good history book, but if you give him one by itself, he’ll let you know he’d rather read them all at once. Perhaps it would be best to wait to have a complete set of books before gifting them to him… The youngest ally, Kotaro Fuma, is a ninja serving the Hojo clan in the Kanto region. Gift him something old-fashioned like a Tengu mask, and he’ll swiftly respond that it’s for old people, forcing Jubei to quietly take it back. Oyu is a mysterious woman clad in Western armor. Though she fights alongside Jubei, she often comes off as shady – and not just when she’s apprehensive about your gift choices, in this case, after she’s been gifted The Art of War. Sometimes, giving certain gifts in just the right order will change your ally’s response. Producer Kosuke Tanaka’s favorite reaction happens when you give raw fish and wasabi to Magoichi. Lastly, for Director Motohide Eshiro’s favorite reaction: Some gifts touch on sore subjects, and for Ekei, that would be any gift relating to hair. Try giving Ekei something like a comb or hair oil, and this is how he’ll respond. There are many more items to collect and reactions to discover in Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Experiment with different gifts and combinations, and reclaim your destiny in the newly remastered Onimusha 2, out now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

Blaze a Trail of Destruction in Sea of Thieves Season 16The Reaper’s Bones reveal new Voyages and schemes as they seek to dominate the waves!Frances 'Fracas' Addison (Writer/Editor)Posted in: Announcements on 22 May 2025Season 16 has arrived in Sea of Thieves! It’s been a little while since the fearsome Captain Flameheart regained his physical form, but the time has now come for him to expand the reach of his loyal followers and strengthen the standing of The Reaper’s Bones. In this latest free Seasonal update, pirates will be able to set out on their first ever Voyages for The Reaper’s Bones and work together with the legendary skeletons of the Order of Bone and Blade to uncover Ancient secrets – and that’s just the beginning… New Crews First, a note on another milestone: as Season 16 dawns, the Sea of Thieves is set to welcome in a whole host of new players! As you might have heard, Sea of Thieves arrives on Battle.net® on May 22nd to enable a wave of wide-eyed explorers to start their pirate journey on a brand new platform. Some Battle.net players have already been spied out on the seas, either as part of our Closed Beta or, more recently, during Early Access. But it’s Season 16’s launch that marks the official launch of the game on this new platform, and opens the doors for everyone who has purchased the game via Battle.net to set out on their maiden voyage. Alongside all the permanent free content added to the game since launch, Battle.net players will have access to all the goodies included with their chosen edition of the game, including any pre-purchase bonuses. You can find out more about it all in our announce article or the video below. Be sure to give these fresh-faced freebooters a warm welcome!Battle.net Announce Trailer: Official Sea of ThievesDuration 1:08Stronger Bones With their leader Captain Flameheart returned to full strength and armed with forbidden knowledge thieved from Ancient Temples, The Reaper’s Bones are making their move on the Sea of Thieves! This Season, for the first time, they’ll be offering Voyages for pirates to undertake, beginning with the Search for Ancient Secrets. In this Voyage, players will need to work with a lost crew of skeletons from the fabled Order of Bone and Blade to unearth long-buried Ancient Sarcophagi. Along the way, Ancient Phantoms will emerge to defend their hidden secrets. You’ll need to fight them off to finish activating the mechanisms and uncover a Skull of the Banished to take back to the Servant of the Flame. Voyaging for The Reaper’s Bones isn’t quite so simple, however: Flameheart values strength and dominance above all else, so if you want to sail in his name, you’ll have to fly a Reaper’s Mark Flag! The flag will be raised automatically whenever you undertake a Voyage for The Reaper’s Bones, revealing the location of your ship to all other nearby crews and inviting them to come and claim your loot for themselves, if they have what it takes…Sea of Thieves Season 16: Official Launch TrailerDuration 1:01Emergent Excitements The growing influence of The Reaper’s Bones is having an impact on emergent activities too. Their cunning weaponsmiths have devised a way of tapping the raw power of the Chest of Rage to construct a new, devastating weapon: the Cannon of Rage. This portable armament grants pirates who find it the freedom to fire cannonballs from almost anywhere, then pack up the cannon and carry it on to a new location for redeployment. There’s a risk, however: whenever the Cannon of Rage fires or takes damage, it starts to overheat. Fail to give it time to cool down (or speed up the cooling process with water), and it’ll live up to its name with a violent explosion that’s liable to sink the ship you’re standing on! Meanwhile, skeletal members of the long-lost Order of Bone and Blade have started clawing their way up towards the sandy surfaces of islands, waiting to be fully unearthed by curious passers-by. Rescue them and you’ll be friends for life – or at least until they fall in battle, as they’ll happily throw in their lot with the next pirate to revive them. You’ll find they’re also unable to leave the island to which their bones are bound! Until then, though, they can lend a hand with whatever needs doing, whether it’s demystifying tricky treasure maps, digging up treasure or helping to carry your haul to safety.Sea of Thieves Season 16: Official Content Update VideoDuration 4:50More to Come The Season 16 additions don’t end with May’s update. Over the next few months, new features will be arriving as part of our staggered Season delivery, including a second Voyage for The Reaper’s Bones and the introduction of breakable seals on Reaper’s Chests! If a crew decides to take the plunge and investigate what’s actually inside these strange glowing boxes, they might just find themselves with a sturdy crew of skeletons ready to defend their new companions to the death. The Followers of the Flame Voyage also focuses on these mysterious treasures favoured by The Reaper’s Bones. Pirates will be tasked with using an enchanted lantern known as the Follower’s Flame to search for a new kind of Reaper’s Chest in need of recovery, helped along the way by some of Flameheart’s loyal forces. These further additions will be arriving throughout Season 16, so be sure to keep an eye on our social channels for more news on each update as it approaches!Sea of Thieves Season 16: Unlockable CosmeticsDuration 0:52Flaming Fashions Any expansion to The Reaper’s Bones wouldn’t be complete without a fresh round of Commendations to work towards and the rewards unlocked by doing so. Season 16 introduces a wealth of new Reaper-inspired cosmetics to personalise your pirate, ensuring you can always show your allegiance via your wardrobe. Pirate Captains will also find that they have new Captaincy Milestones awaiting them to keep track of their contributions to Flameheart’s plans. Beyond Commendations, Season 16 promises everything you’d expect from a new Sea of Thieves Season, including another 100 levels of Renown to climb through with daring deeds and a rich bounty of cosmetics, gold, Doubloons and Ancient Coins to earn along the way. For pirates who already have some Ancient Coins ready to spend, the Pirate Emporium is ready to light up the night with its latest array of offerings, while the Season 16 Plunder Pass includes the luxurious Oyster’s Prize ship set (including Collector’s items) and matching Oyster’s Prize Eyepatch, Jacket and Belt!Pirate Emporium Update - May 2025: Official Sea of ThievesDuration 0:52The seas will be abuzz with activity during Season 16 as the Reapers roll out their plans, so keep your eye on the horizon for everything that’s coming. For a full breakdown of the features included and improvements made in this month’s update, check out the latest release notes. More information about the features coming later in the Season will be revealed in the weeks ahead, so follow Sea of Thieves on the social media platform of your choice to get all the latest updates. Good luck out there, and may the Flame burn!Connect With Us:
