Capcom have today confirmed that the latest installment into the Onimusha franchise, known as Onimusha: Way of the Sword, is now available physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S as well as digitally on Windows PC. A Digital Deluxe Edition and A Digital Premium Edition is also available to purchase alongside a FREE playable demo.
About: Onimusha: Way of the Sword transports players to a twisted vision of Kyoto. Set during Japan’s Edo period, the game features real-life locations, local myths, and historical figures within a dark fantasy world. Among the cast of characters is protagonist Miyamoto Musashi, a fierce and striking young samurai, who today we now know as one of the most legendary figures in Japanese history.
In the game, Musashi’s path takes an unexpected turn after a run in with the demonic Genma. He soon finds himself armed with an Oni Gauntlet, a mystical artifact that grants abilities beyond human limits. While this power allows Musashi to slay these monsters from the underworld, he desires to fight with his strength alone. In his quest, he’ll face many gritty, blood-soaked brawls.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword gameplay focuses on swordplay and tactical combat, where blades collide and sparks fly, in order to create that perfect opening to deal damage to your opponent. Of course swordplay isn’t the only mechanic available, as Musashi will be able to use alternative weapons and use the power of the Oni Gauntlet to defeat his foes.
As mentioned Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available physically and digitally, with different editions being offered digitally.
