Duel of Sword

Its bosses are every bit as demanding as those found in a Soulslike, but the journey between them isn't built around constant punishment. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a game that manages to challenge the player without becoming exhausting, allowing the game to shift naturally between moments of intense concentration and opportunities to simply enjoy stylish swordplay.

Capcom has announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the upcoming action-adventure sequel for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, will now be released earlier than previously guided: it will be available on September 4 rather than September 25.

Capcom confirmed a release date for 2026's Onimusha game during PlayStation's State of Play showcase.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is now releasing on Sept. 4, making it one of the earlier games in 2026's busy period.

Often, you leave a demo satisfied. But sometimes, you put down your controller with another thought in mind: “Yeah, I could keep going.” If Capcom had let me, I would have played Onimusha: Way of the Sword all day.
