Capcom's mystery game is Sengoku Basara 3
Capcom's latest
teaser site, which was last showing the number 1600, was generally believed (and
hoped) to be leading up to the announcement of a new
Onimusha game. However, the game being teased is actually a new entry in Capcom's
other action series starring fictionalized versions of real feudal Japanese warlords:
Sengoku Basara, (barely) better known here as
Devil Kings -- a series which features
Onimusha's bad guy Oda Nobunaga as the protagonist and title character.
No platforms or really
any other information were revealed about
Sengoku Basara 3, other than the logo, two character silhouettes, and a 2010 date. Previous
Sengoku Basara games have been released on PS2,
PSP, and
Wii (along with an arcade-based 2D fighting spinoff).
The series isn't that well-known in North America, but in Japan, its popularity (and the sudden popularity of
actual Japanese history) is boosted by the tie-in
anime series.
