Capcom didnt provide any new gameplay for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, its long-awaited sequel in the acclaimed hack-and-slash series, in its latest showcase. However, it offered some new details, including confirmation of a new protagonist and enemy types.Producer Akihito Kadowaki and the game director Satoru Nihei outlined three core aspects of the title. The first is compelling characters, which includes a unique cast, while the second is the setting Kyoto in the early Edo era. Its full of mysterious spots with unsettling backstories and drama (which is to be expected from a locale teeming with Genma).The third is ultimate sword-fighting action, and while further details are pending, Kadowaki confirmed dismemberment and gore. Of course, the protagonist also wields the Oni Gauntlet, used to suck souls from slain enemies.Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Its still a ways off so stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming months.
