Capcom has confirmed that its new sword-fighting action game, 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword,' will launch on September 25, 2026. A demo has also been released alongside the announcement.

During the State of Play event on the 3rd, Capcom unveiled a new trailer for the latest entry in the series, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and announced its September 25 release date. Set in early Edo-period Kyoto, the game follows the protagonist, Musashi, as he battles the Genma—bizarre and ferocious monsters terrorizing the historic city.

The trailer is set on Mount Ooe, a location known for its many legends involving the extermination of yokai. The footage focuses on a confrontation with a massive Genma that has made the mountain its base. While the creature claims to be the legendary Oni Shuten-doji, Capcom has left it ambiguous whether this claim is true.

Combat centers on a variety of sword-fighting actions. Capcom highlighted realistic impact in its slashing mechanics, sword-on-sword duels built around parrying and deflecting, the series' iconic 'Issen' (critical strike), and superhuman abilities manifested through the power of the Oni. The announcement also showcased new mechanics, including combos that build a gauge through consecutive dodges followed by powerful counterattacks, the use of Oni power to shatter enemy defenses, and traversal moves like wall-running to reach new areas.

The demo, released alongside the trailer, features the first 30 minutes of gameplay, allowing players to experience Musashi's diverse combat moves. While progress from the demo does not carry over to the full game, players with a demo save file will receive special in-game bonuses.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
