Capcom has unsheathed a new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword during Sony’s State of Play broadcast this evening, and it confirms that the game will finally launch on September 25, 2026. Not only that, but a playable demo of the upcoming samurai epic is now available!
Check out the new trailer below.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword sees players controlling Miyamoto Musashi, who is based on the appearance of legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, who passed away nearly 30 years ago. The actor is credited with more than 180 different roles, and has appeared in films including Rashomon, Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, and the Hidden Fortress.
This latest 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 launches Sept. 25 for PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
