New information regarding Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been released by Capcom. The game, which is scheduled for release in 2026, will feature battles in famous Kyoto locations, an updated combat system, and a new hero.

The main focus is on the feeling of sword wielding. The developers strive to convey the realism of swordsmanship by adding new Genma enemies and the ability to use both blades and the powerful Omni Gauntlet .

The key element is “the satisfaction of dissecting opponents”. Battles will be brutal and intense, and the soul absorption system will allow you to regenerate health and use special abilities. Capcom specified that some versions of the trailer may lack dismemberment and blood, but in the game they will be in place.

The team has taken Onimusha's signature style and added dark fantasy elements, as well as utilizing “Capcom's latest technology” to make the game as fun as possible.

  • The game will introduce interesting characters, including a new protagonist, and enemies that will stand out in more than just appearance;
  • The game will be set in the Edo period (1603-1868);
  • The events take place in Kyoto, a city where you can find many historical sites shrouded in mysterious and disturbing stories;
  • The protagonist, thanks to his faith, finds himself in possession of the Oni gauntlet. Now he has to fight the monsters inhabiting the world of the living and absorb their souls. This way the protagonist can restore health and use special techniques;
  • In the game you can meet real historical characters;
  • Sword battles will take place in real time, and the developers paid attention to the fact that players “enjoy” the destruction of enemies.
