Japanese publishing Capcom has said that it might be bringing back some of its older IP. 

In a release to investors, the company said that it would be reviving some of its intellectual properties in the near future.

At The Game Awards last week, Capcom unveiled a sequel to the 2006 cult classic Okami, as well as a new entry in the Onimusha franchise called Way of the Sword. 

"In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently," the publisher wrote.

"The company is working to further enhance corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, which includes reviving past IPs like the two titles announced above, in order to continuously produce highly efficient, high-quality titles."
