Sword of Resistance

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

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.

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.

The final game will be tougher, clarifies producer Akihito Kadowaki.

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