With Onimusha: Way of the Sword less than a month away, Capcom has unveiled a new trailer for the action title, focused on the one of the many real-world locations set in the action game’s dark fantasy depiction of Kyoto.
Titled “Severing Fates”, the trailer explores Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, a sacred place known for granting wishes, but not always in the ways you might hope. In the game, a Genma called Rasho-gan preys on pilgrims, twisting visitors’ desires to take their body parts for himself. Players can look forward to dueling this multi-armed monster as protagonist Miyamoto Mushashi, wielding the samurai’s Oni Gauntlet and deep arsenal of combat abilities in an intense boss battle.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. Fusing history and myth, the story follows the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto.
Look for Onimusha: Way of the Sword when it launches on September 4 for PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. Pre-orders are available now. Players who pre-order the Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Deluxe editions before the game’s release will receive Early Adopter Bonuses, including the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
