Capcom unveils new gameplay footage for its upcoming action title, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, slated for release in 2026. The trailer, showcased at the PlayStation State of Play event, reveals the game's protagonist: the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.
The trailer highlights the game's dynamic sword combat and impressive boss encounters. While still over two years away, the visuals and action sequences are already generating considerable excitement.
Miyamoto Musashi's portrayal blends his renowned swordsmanship with a charismatic, even comedic, personality. Capcom describes Onimusha: Way of the Sword as a dark fantasy action game featuring one of Japan's most iconic historical figures. Musashi's likeness is reportedly based on the legendary Toshiro Mifune, famous for his samurai roles in classic cinema.
The game's setting is a demon-infested Kyoto, overrun by the malevolent force known as Malic, which is summoning hellish creatures into Japan. This marks the first new entry in the Onimusha franchise in two decades. To bridge the gap, Capcom also announced a remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, launching May 23, 2025.
