During today’s Summer Game Fest event, we saw a new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which showed off more of the game’s slashy smashy combat.
Today’s trailer focused pretty heavily on battles, both with regular enemies and bosses. We got an especially close look at both a pretty hefty monstrous boss enemy, as well as an elegant and vicious fellow taunting our hero Musashi. At the end of the trailer, a beautiful woman manifests out of an orb and looks knowingly at the camera.
Capcom’s latest Onimusha was first revealed at The Game Awards last year, and is being developed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC as the first brand new, mainline Onimusha game since Dawn of Dreams way back in 2006. In February, we got a closer look at the game’s protagonist, the historic swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who will fight off an evil force known as Malic as it tries to take over Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently planned for release sometime in 2026.
