Onimusha: Way of the Sword Ditches Open-World for Sharp, Environment-Driven Combat

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.

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.
