Game Informer's latest issue features the cover reveal for Capcom's revived title Onimusha: Way of the Sword, starring legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi battling Genma in a burning, Edo-period Kyoto. Reporters Eric Van Allen and the author visited Capcom's Osaka headquarters, played a three-hour demo of the open-town segment, and interviewed director Satoru Nihei, producer Akihito Kadowaki, art directors Hiroyuki Nara and Hiroshi Yugen, and writer Hiroshi Yamashita, as well as former director Motohide Eshiro. The issue also includes retrospectives, previews, and reviews of numerous upcoming and recent games, and is available digitally now with physical copies arriving in late August ahead of the game's September launch.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Required a Complete Rebuild
Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a full remake rather than a simple remaster; because the original 2013 code was incompatible with the new Anvil Engine, the development team had to rebuild the game from the ground up, overhauling visuals, core systems and adding new narrative content.
