Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the latest title in the Onimusha series, is scheduled for release on September 25, 2026.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which marks the first new title in the series in over 20 years, is a Japanese-inspired dark fantasy game that features Miyamoto Musashi as the protagonist and is set in an Edo-era Kyoto that has been twisted by malevolent clouds of Malice. Capcom is developing the title with the aim of appealing to a wide range of players through its exhilarating sword-based action and highly-unique characters.
Ahead of launch, the company released a playable demo today*, June 3, 2026, titled Onimusha: Way of the Sword DEMO, to give players an opportunity to enjoy the appeal of the game as early as possible. In this demo, players can experience a variety of action-packed swordplay, including the fight against the formidable foe, Sasaki Ganryu. Further, the company also started accepting pre-orders for the title. As a pre-order bonus, players can receive equipment that can be used in the game.
In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently. The company is working to further maximize corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, including this title.
* The Windows version is scheduled to be released at a later date.
