Capcom planned to released remasters of Onimusha 2 and Onimusha 3 as well but they were canceled due to the low sales of the remaster of Onimusha Warlords. It was not expected to be a great sales success but unfortunately sales were still below expectations. The note said that Capcom released the remaster of Onimusha Warlords as a test to ascertain the players' interest in the franchise. When they're more behind the scenes they tend to do better.Dusk Golem, a very credible insider of Capcom who hit several leaks about RE2R, RE3R, RE Village and Monster Hunter for Switch, recently released a note on the status of the Onimusha series.

All had recognizable actor//actress marketing the game and all of them being flops. Some of I can think recently are Forspoken, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, Far Cry 6, and Callisto Protocol.

Just off the top of my head I think games who use Hollywood actors/actresses as the face of their projects have overwhelming negative receptions on the games. You don't need big faces behind projects just the talented VO market which can lift performances. It's almost like they're trying to hide the game is mediocre elsewhere which is often the case with games that heavily market celebrities. It's always a red flag to me when a game heavily advertises a celebrity as the central vocal point in their games like Ghost Recon or Far Cry games typically do. Most of the time I'd say no though as I feel like celebrities are usually one of those things that are often taken advantage of to try to disguise mediocre games. Not at the expense of the gameplay, which sometimes you have to question with the massive budgets on games how much does celebrities eat through that and limit resources in other areas like the gameplay? That said, sure if they have good performances.
