Capcom unveils new gameplay footage for its upcoming action title, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, slated for release in 2026. The trailer, showcased during the PlayStation State of Play, reveals the game's protagonist: the legendary Japanese swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.
The trailer highlights the game's dynamic sword combat and impressive boss encounters. While still a year away, the visuals and action are already impressive.
Miyamoto Musashi's portrayal blends his renowned swordsmanship with a charismatic, even comedic, personality. Capcom describes Onimusha: Way of the Sword as a dark fantasy action game featuring one of Japan's most iconic historical figures. Musashi's likeness is reportedly based on the legendary Toshiro Mifune, famous for his samurai roles.
The game's setting is a demon-infested Kyoto, overrun by the malevolent force known as Malic, which is summoning hellish creatures into Japan. This marks the first new Onimusha title in two decades. To build anticipation, Capcom also announced a remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, launching May 23, 2025.
