If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot would undoubtedly go to the new installment in the Onimusha series—Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This trailer introduced us to its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, portrayed with the striking likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune.

In the trailer, Musashi fearlessly battles demons that have surged from the depths of hell into the historic streets of Kyoto. While he fiercely slashes through his monstrous adversaries, there are light-hearted moments where he tries to escape from them, adding a humorous touch to the intense action.

The narrative reveals that Musashi, through his unwavering faith, becomes the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet. His mission is to combat the creatures that have invaded the realm of the living, absorbing their souls in the process. This not only allows him to restore his health but also to unleash powerful special abilities, adding depth to the gameplay.

Additionally, the State of Play featured a new trailer for the Onimusha 2 remaster. The stark contrast between the visuals of Onimusha: Way of the Sword and the remastered Onimusha 2 serves as a testament to the remarkable advancements in graphics technology over the years, showcasing the evolution of the series.
