Capcom has debuted a new look at Onimusha: Way of the Sword in the form a new trailer, this time showcasing a new boss in action as well locations based on real-world landmarks, including the Kyoto’s Yasui Konpiragu Shrine.
Check it out below.
The boss featured in this trailer is something that PSU actually faced in our recent hands-on with the game, and to say it’s a tough customer is a bit of an understatement.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword sees players hopping into the role of Miyamoto Musashi, who is based on the appearance of Toshiro Mifune, the legendary Japanese actor who appeared in more than 180 different roles including Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, and the Hidden Fortress.
This lates entry in the Onimusha franchise follows Musashi as he explores a dark fantasy version of Kyoto during the Edo period, where he battles against demonic swordsmen and other supernatural threats. Equipped with a powerful sword, Musashi is able to strike and parry opponents, while depleting his foes’ stamina will allow you to utilise the Break Issen mechanic, which dismembers enemies for a swift kill.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled for release on September 4, 2026 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.
