Capcom confirms Onimusha: Way of the Sword will run on Nintendo Switch 2 with only modest differences from the PS5 version: the Switch 2 build runs at 30 FPS (vs 60 on other platforms), but developers say the experience should feel close, especially in handheld mode, and the release date was moved to September 4, 2026.
Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword, releasing Sept 4, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC, is not an open-world or Soulslike title. It’s a character-action game centered on Miyamoto Musashi’s blade, set in a Kyoto hub described as an “open-town” with side quests and hidden areas. While challenging boss fights exist, you don’t lose resources on death, and the game emphasizes mastering combat and using the environment over expansive map exploration.
Capcom revealed a crossover between Onimusha and Street Fighter 6 (The Way of the Oni x The Way of the Fist) that grants eight Onimusha-themed costume colors and free avatar outfits, titles, and backgrounds for players who log in from August 7–31. The promotion runs alongside Street Fighter 6’s Season 4 update (with Yasmine on August 4) and is tied to the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword release on September 3.
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.
