Onimusha: Way of the Sword: new details and release date

Capcom has unveiled exciting new details about Onimusha: Way of the Sword, slated for release in 2026. Prepare for visceral battles set against the backdrop of iconic Kyoto locations, enhanced by a revamped combat system and the introduction of a brand-new hero.

The core gameplay revolves around the visceral thrill of swordplay. Developers aim for unparalleled realism, achieved through the addition of new Genma enemies and the ability to wield both blades and the devastating Omni Gauntlet. The key focus is "the satisfaction of dissecting opponents," promising brutal and intense encounters. A soul absorption mechanic allows health regeneration and the unleashing of special abilities. While some trailer versions may omit dismemberment and blood effects, Capcom assures players these elements will be fully present in the final game.

Building upon Onimusha's signature style, the game incorporates dark fantasy elements and leverages "Capcom's latest technology" to deliver an unforgettable experience. Expect a compelling cast of characters, including a fresh protagonist, and enemies that are memorable for more than just their appearance.

Key features include:

  • A setting in the Edo period (1603-1868) of Japan.
  • Kyoto serves as the game's location, with its rich history and numerous sites steeped in mystery and unsettling tales.
  • The protagonist, empowered by faith, possesses the Oni gauntlet, leading the fight against monstrous creatures inhabiting the mortal realm. Soul absorption is crucial for health restoration and activating special techniques.
  • Encounters with real historical figures.
  • Real-time sword combat meticulously designed for maximum player enjoyment in the destruction of enemies.
