Capcom Unveils Onimusha Way of the Sword Trailer, Musashi Revived

Capcom used its presentation at the Tokyo Game Show 2025 to release a new gameplay trailer for Onimusha Way of the Sword, revealing that protagonist Miyamoto Musashi is killed early in the story, revived by a mysterious Oni Gauntlet and thrust into a struggle against demonic forces in Kyoto. The trailer premiered during Capcom's online program on the opening day of the show and showed extended combat sequences, new characters and narrative beats while confirming the game will arrive in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC, with no specific release date announced.

The footage centers on Musashi's internal conflict over relying on the gauntlet's demonic power. After the Genma kill him, the Oni Gauntlet restores his life but exerts a corrupting influence. The trailer suggests Musashi must balance his dedication to swordsmanship with the temptation of the gauntlet, as allies guide him through what the game presents as a "soul-searching" path to understand true strength. It also shows rival combatant Ganryu seizing the gauntlet's power and seemingly transforming into a more monstrous form, setting up an antagonist arc that mirrors Musashi's own struggle.
