Overview
- Capcom announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will launch on September 25, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, and it will be available at Switch 2’s opening.
- The game returns to a dark‑fantasy Edo‑period Kyoto where players fight Genma using the Oni Gauntlet, a device that absorbs enemy souls to power the wearer.
- Capcom says the protagonist is a rendition of Miyamoto Musashi whose face model is based on actor Toshiro Mifune, linking the game’s look to classic samurai cinema.
- Switch 2 will support Joy‑Con 2 motion controls for the title and Capcom has already released a free demo and opened preorders for other platforms with a warned demo limitation that progress will not carry over.
- This is the first mainline Onimusha entry since Dawn of Dreams on PlayStation 2 and its September timing places it in a crowded fall window, making platform features and early demos commercially important.
