It will be coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hack-and-slash Onimusha series is mainly based in Japan\u2019s Sengoku Period and combines historical figures with supernatural elements. Back in 2018, a reworking of the first game, 2001\u2019s PS2 cult classic Onimusha: Warlords HD Remaster, was released on modern platforms. Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be the first full-fledged brand new title in the series since Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in 2006.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Announce Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KOiJGLZDnFw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword showcases dramatic sword fights against demons and possessed soldiers.

With its new graphics and modern gameplay, Onimusha: Way of the Sword is shaping up to be a welcome reboot of the classic series.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled to be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) in 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capcom&#8217;s classic samurai hack and slash is finally getting a new game- Onimusha: Way of the Sword is releasing in 2026, with a suitably atmospheric teaser trailer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":41420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-41409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
