Overview
- Capcom confirmed on Thursday, July 2 that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will now launch on September 4, 2026 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store) and Nintendo Switch 2.
- The company converted previously advertised pre‑order bonuses into 'Early Adopter' bonuses available through late September, with cosmetics that include a lion dog charm and a Sealed Curse sword appearance.
- Capcom said the playable demo on PS5, Xbox Series and PC will be updated to reflect the new schedule and that demo save files will still grant the planned in‑game reward when the full game releases.
- Digital pre‑orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 version were automatically cancelled by the platform and affected customers must place new pre‑orders through Nintendo's storefront.
- Capcom moved the date to avoid direct clashes with heavy late‑September releases such as Silent Hill: Townfall and Control: Resonant, a change that echoes wider publisher scheduling shifts ahead of major November launches.
