As part of the latest Capcom Spotlight, Onimusha: Way of the Sword Producer Akihito Kadowaki and Director Satoru Nihei shared information about the upcoming title in the series and a new trailer. Additionally, Capcom also revealed a remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny will come out sometime in 2025.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be set in Kyoto during the Edo Period. The three pillars of the game as described by Producer Kadowaki are compelling characters, including a new protagonist, the aforementioned new setting of Kyoto, and “ultimate sword fighting action.”
A new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword also appeared, and the full version is now available below. Furthermore, the developers explained that the game will include blood, dismemberments and gore, but some regions and versions of the trailer might be affected and not show these features.
Famous locations like the Kiyomizu-dera Temple will appear in the game, where players will engage in bloody fights with the Genma and absorb their souls using the series’ signature Oni Gauntlet, which will allow players to restore health or use special moves. The developers emphasized that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will not be a punishing game and instead they’re aiming for a satisfying action game with a focus on slicing on enemies.
Meanwhile, the remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is in production and will appear for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC. More details about the game will appear in the future.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC and will release in 2026.
