Onimusha: Way of the Sword Revives Franchise After 20 Years

Capcom has revived its classic samurai action series with the release of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, marking the franchise's first new mainline entry in two decades. The game, which launched on September 4, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, introduces a new protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, and shifts the setting from the Sengoku period to early Edo-period Kyoto. While the title has been met with praise for its combat system, reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding its narrative and repetitive design elements.
