Capcom hasn’t forgotten about Onimusha fans. The upcoming revival of the series in Onimusha: Way of the Sword finally as a release date of September 25, and as an extra treat, you can get a taste of what to expect with the new demo, which is available now alongside pre-orders and a new trailer.
The new trailer includes footage that explores Mount Oe, a new location outside Kyoto, where a colossal Genma claiming to be the legendary Shuten Doji makes his stronghold. As protagonist Miyamoto Musashi carves his way through the Genma garrison, he wields his supernatural speed and strength to traverse the fortress’ defenses. In its closing moments, the trailer provides a glimpse of Musashi harnessing every ounce of his powers to transform and fully awaken as an Oni Warrior.
As for the demo, it’s available on PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. In the demo, players can experience the game’s action while exploring the historic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and test their skills in a heated battle against Musashi’s fated rival, Sasaki Ganryu. Demo players will also receive a special bonus, the “Kubi Akari” charm, when the full game releases on September 25.
And speaking of bonuses, pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword will receive the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm as bonuses. Additionally, pre-orders of the Deluxe Edition and Premium Deluxe Edition will include extra bonus rewards.
