Overview
- Capcom confirmed on Tuesday, June 2 that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will launch on September 25, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- A playable demo released the same day lets players explore the Kiyomizu-dera Temple and face rival Sasaki Ganryu, and demo participants will receive the Kubi Akari charm for use in the full game.
- Pre-orders are live for Standard, Deluxe and Premium Deluxe editions, with prices starting at $69.99 and pre-order bonuses that include the Sealed Curse sword appearance and the Lion Dog charm plus larger cosmetic kits in higher tiers.
- Capcom warned that the demo's performance does not fully reflect the final product and said it will publish an official PC benchmark tool before launch to offer clearer PC performance estimates.
- Way of the Sword is the fourth mainline Onimusha and arrives roughly two decades after 2006's Dawn of Dreams, and its late-September date places it among several major releases that could affect the game's visibility and sales.
