New Onimusha Gameplay Unveils Protagonist and Action

Feb 20,25(1 years ago)

Capcom unveils new gameplay footage for its upcoming action title, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, slated for release in 2026. The trailer, showcased during the PlayStation State of Play, reveals the game's protagonist: the legendary swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi.

The trailer offers a compelling glimpse into the game's sword-focused combat and impressive boss encounters. While still over two years away, the visuals and action sequences are already generating significant buzz.

PlayMiyamoto Musashi's portrayal blends historical accuracy with a touch of roguish charm and humor. Capcom describes Onimusha: Way of the Sword as a dark fantasy action game featuring one of Japan's most celebrated historical figures. Musashi's in-game likeness is reportedly based on the legendary Toshiro Mifune, renowned 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 and build anticipation, Capcom also announced a remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, launching May 23, 2025.
