The Onimusha series has long been considered one of Capcom's key brands, and fans have been waiting for its return. In 2026, Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released, which should restore the shine to the brand known since the PlayStation 2 era.
Since its initial announcement, Way of the Sword has evoked strong emotions among players. Capcom promises a game with brutal battles, atmospheric locations, and challenges that will reignite interest in the series.
At Tokyo Game Show 2025, Capcom showcased a lengthy gameplay demo, allowing for a detailed look at the new story. The footage confirms that this is a full-fledged slasher where every hit and every decision on the battlefield matters.
The recording shows numerous battles — the protagonist destroys opponents using precise counterattacks, parries, and spectacular techniques. An important element of combat is reducing the enemy's stamina. When the energy bar drops to zero, you can finish off the opponent with one spectacular blow. This makes the battles both challenging and fair.
