Onimusha Reborn: Capcom Reimagines a 20-Year Silence with Way of the Sword

Capcom is reviving the long-dormant Onimusha series with Way of the Sword, a single-katana, RE Engine–powered action-adventure that modernizes the series’ swordplay and supernatural horror. The standalone 20-hour campaign follows Miyamoto Musashi in a dark-fantasy Edo-era Kyoto, emphasizing precise parries, deflects, and Issen counterattacks, with an expanded Oni Gauntlet that absorbs souls and reveals hidden foes; players won’t swap weapons, but will utilize elemental attacks and Break Issen variants. The game uses a wide-linear design, allows revisiting areas, and blends Genma lore with environmental puzzles, not a Soulslike or open world. It launches September 4, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam/Epic), and Switch 2 in Standard, Digital Deluxe, and Digital Premium Deluxe editions with pre-order bonuses, plus a free demo is available for download.

Kinoshita Returns to Direct Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Bringing Relics, Dungeons and New Skills

Capcom’s Capcom Spotlight revealed Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, with Kento Kinoshita returning as director for the expansion after Hideaki Itsuno’s departure.

An August update will add two additional weapon skill slots, plus bug fixes, UI tweaks, pawn adjustments, and Dragonsplague balance including a cure (Dragonsbaulk Draught) for afflicted pawns. The overall focus is on QoL and performance improvements while expanding endgame depth.

Devil May Cry 5 Switch 2 Edition: Vergil Bonus Keeps the Action Hot

Devil May Cry 5 Switch 2 Edition: Vergil Bonus Keeps the Action Hot

Capcom's Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition on Switch 2 is a solid port that runs at a steady 60fps and looks good overall, with Vergil as a notable bonus character and Nero/Dante delivering strong combat. V’s sections remain the weaker link, and the absence of the Legendary Dark Knight mode means it isn’t the definitive edition. Visually there are some downsides like fuzzy hair effects and occasional handheld visual noise, but the action remains among the best on Switch 2—an 8/10 overall.

Capcom's 'Diana Police' Shape Pragmata's Childlike Heroine

Capcom formed a women-led group dubbed the 'Diana Police' to ensure Pragmata's Diana feels naturally childlike without feeling contrived, guiding voice direction, motion capture, and performance. The approach was discussed during a Capcom livestream and in subsequent interviews, with director Cho Yonghee noting the rationale for mostly women on the panel. A new Hugh suit was also teased during the stream.

Capcom’s Pragmata used a ‘Diana Police’ to perfect its young heroine’s innocence

Capcom’s Pragmata development team formed a female group nicknamed the Diana Police to review Diana’s childlike innocence, guiding motion capture and voice acting so she feels natural rather than contrived; the Japanese voice actress was told to avoid being overly cute. Capcom noted women are better at spotting such “cunning” cuteness. Pragmata sold around 2 million copies by May, and a sequel remains a possibility.
