Onimusha: Way Of The Sword
A new Onimusha title is on the way after a very long wait with the announcement for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword
It only took a bit of time, but it seems like Capcom is ready to bring back yet another title from the past and not in a remaster or remake style with the announcement for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword. It seems to be all the rage for them and I am sure that fans of the action series will be glad to finally have a fully new entry into the IP. That and to head back into feudal Japan with the fantasy that it all can bring us on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Even if it does look like we will still have to wait a bit longer for this Onimusha story as it is currently slated for a 2026 release date. Nothing specific as of yet, but that is the current timeline we have to wait on. As long as we do not see any delays along the way for it all.
If you are somehow new to the Onimusha line of games, this is an action-adventure title that allows us to head into some Japanese folklore with the tale of warriors who are able to use the mystical powers of the Oni in the mix. This leads them down the usual path of fighting monsters and saving the innocent along the way with swords, might, and grit. All brought into the modern era for us to enjoy with this new title while employing more of the sword-based combat that the Onimusha IP has had since 2001. Have a look at the latest trailer for the game as we keep the excitement flowing out there as the two-year wait kicks off. It does look like they are taking their time perfectly for this one to make sure fans will not be let down by anything.
Onimusha: Way Of The Sword — Announcement
Capcom revealed Onimusha: Way Of The Sword. The action game is an all-new adventure in the classic Onimusha franchise. The series’ first new installment in nearly two decades, Onimusha: Way Of The Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. Onimusha: Way Of The Sword launches worldwide in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Onimusha is rooted in the Sengoku period, Japan’s legendary age of warring states. The games infuse history with Japanese folklore to tell tales of warriors who wield the mystical power of the Oni. These heroes are drawn into conflict with the Genma, relentless monsters hellbent on conquering the world. The franchise debuted in 2001 and instantly captivated players with its satisfying sword-based combat and exhilarating “Issen” counterattack mechanics. The series also gained recognition for its spellbinding stories portraying historical figures and real events in a dark fantasy setting. Now, having grown in popularity as one of Capcom’s best-selling properties, Onimusha is entering a whole new era.
Onimusha: Way Of The Sword takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. In this time of relative peace for Japan, Malice has befallen the ancient city. Twisted into an eerie and unsettling place, Kyoto has been infested by the demonic Genma. In the debut trailer for Onimusha: Way Of The Sword, a lone samurai armed with the Oni Gauntlet engages in fierce, blood-soaked sword fights with these hellish creatures from another world.
