What Awaits Players in Onimusha: Way of the Sword — 11 Minutes of Bloody Gameplay

The Onimusha franchise has long been one of Capcom’s cornerstone properties, and fans have eagerly awaited its return. Scheduled for release in 2026, Onimusha: Way of the Sword aims to restore the shine to a series that rose to fame during the PlayStation 2 era.

Since its first announcement, Way of the Sword has sparked intense anticipation among players. Capcom promises visceral combat, richly atmospheric locations, and challenges that should rekindle interest in the series.

At Tokyo Game Show 2025, Capcom revealed an extended gameplay demo that gives a detailed look at the new story. The footage confirms the title is a full-fledged slasher where every blow and tactical choice on the battlefield counts.

The recording shows numerous encounters — the protagonist overwhelms foes with precise counterattacks, well-timed parries, and striking finishers. A crucial combat element is wearing down an enemy’s stamina. Once that gauge hits zero, foes can be finished off with a single dramatic strike. This approach keeps fights demanding yet fair.
