Director Satoru Nihei walks through a gameplay overview for Onimusha: Way of the Sword in a brand new trailer showing off the upcoming franchise entry. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on September 25 for PC and consoles, taking players back to the early Edo-period Kyoto, which has been overrun by monsters from the underworld referred to as Genma. Capcom notes that the footage utilized in the trailer reflects ongoing development phases of the sport and that some scenes depicting death and dismemberment have been removed, but regardless, the video continues to be age-restricted.
“Onimusha: Way of the Sword, an all-new entry within the Onimusha series, plunges the Oni Gauntlet wielding protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi into an early Edo-period Kyoto under siege by monstrous fiends referred to as Genma.”
– Capcom
A magical story will see players facing many battles to beat scary monsters. Capcom has designed Onimusha: Way of the Sword to be a somewhat dark-fantasy RPG where its primary character, Miyamoto Musashi, uses his magical Oni Gauntlet and other skills to defeat the Genma.
“Feel the ring of steel on steel as blades clash in tense back-and-forth duels. Cut down foes with authentic and satisfying swordplay. Awaken Oni Powers to tug off superhuman feats.”
– Capcom
Capcom has made a demo available for all platforms, which include PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Those that purchase the sport will have the opportunity to proceed progress from the demo, but needs to be aware that there may very well be changes made to the ultimate release version. Similarly, for PC users, performance could change with the ultimate release version, but that is kind of normal, and truthfully, patches are sure to follow after release, which might likely further improve the sport.
