Capcom has just removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. From what I can see, the team has basically replaced Denuvo with the Enigma Protector. Still, this should be good news for those who don’t like Denuvo.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is a remaster of the second Onimusha 2 game that came out on March 23rd. The remaster has higher resolution graphics and modernised controls to perform issen critical counterattacks and intense swordplay.
The removal of Denuvo should not come as a surprise. After all, Capcom has removed it from many of its games. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village no longer have it. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake no longer use it. In July 2025, the team also removed it from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
As we’ve reported, other companies have also removed Denuvo from several of their titles. In March 2023, KRAFTON removed Denuvo from The Callisto Protocol. NEOWIZ has also removed it from its Souls-like game, Lies of P. In October 2024, Gearbox removed it from Homeworld 3, too.
Square Enix is another publisher that has removed Denuvo from a lot of its titles. For instance, the publisher has removed it from games like The Diofield Chronicle, VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, TRIANGLE STRATEGY, LIVE A LIVE, and Forspoken. Moreover, both Octopath Traveler and its sequel no longer use it. And, in May 2024, SE removed it from Star Ocean The Second Story R. Finally, in March 2025, the publisher removed it from Final Fantasy 16.
And that’s not all. Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Doom Eternal no longer have it. Warner Bros has also removed it from Mortal Kombat 11. Then we have Bandai Namco, which has removed it from Tekken 7 and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER.
So there you have it. Another game that no longer has Denuvo. As I’ve said, this is the best way to use Denuvo. So, I’m glad to see Capcom removing it from most of its older titles.
