Overview

  • Capcom confirmed the full-game launch date and demo during State of Play on Tuesday, June 2, with Onimusha: Way of the Sword due September 25 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
  • A free demo released the same day lets players explore a Kiyomizu-dera Temple stage and fight rival boss Sasaki Ganryu and grants the Kubi Akari charm for the full game.
  • Pre-orders are live in Standard, Deluxe and Premium Deluxe editions with listed cosmetic bonuses such as the Sealed Curse sword skin and Lion Dog charm.
  • Capcom warned demo performance may not match the final product, said demo progress will not carry over, and promised a separate PC benchmark tool to clarify system performance.
  • The game is the first mainline Onimusha in roughly 20 years and its September timing places it in a packed release window that could heighten competition for sales.
