Overview
- Capcom released the expanded Onimusha demo on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, and for the first time made a Switch 2 build available alongside patched versions on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
- The update extends the trial with a second quest set in the Oni Refuge and ends with a towering boss fight against Daidara that follows the demo’s original Ganryu encounter.
- New trailers shown at Gamescom Opening Night Live preview additional enemies Ifuu and Burai, a duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Dokyo, and Musashi’s fully awakened Oni form.
- Demo progress does not carry into the full game, but players who keep their demo save file can claim the in‑game Kubi Akari charm via the Spirit Mirror after launch.
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword remains scheduled to launch on September 4, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC, and Capcom has provided a PC benchmark tool and sizable platform patches (PS5 users reported a ~9.6GB update).
