Capcom Revives Late Actor Toshiro Mifune's Likeness for Onimusha: Way of the Sword

The upcoming 2026 game brings legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi to life, modeled after iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword features Miyamoto Musashi, a historical samurai, as its protagonist, modeled after the late Toshiro Mifune.
Toshiro Mifune, a celebrated actor known for his roles in Akira Kurosawa's classic samurai films, passed away in 1997 but remains an enduring cultural icon.
Capcom aims to deliver an authentic samurai experience, blending historical and cinematic influences with supernatural elements like the Oni Gauntlet.
The game introduces a grounded combat system focused on deliberate swordplay, parries, and environmental interactions against demonic enemies called Genma.
Set to release in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, the game marks the first new mainline Onimusha title since 2006.
