Story Highlight
  • Capcom has showcased the first gameplay trailer of Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
  • The footage showcases gorgeous visuals and incredible gameplay.
  • As the team works toward the 2026 launch window, more details will be shared later this year.

Capcom is set to bring back various classic IPs very soon, including a beloved action franchise. In addition to Okami, Onimusha will return to the industry with a brand new title, creating excitement among fans of these older franchises.

Following the announcement a few months ago, the studio has also shared more details on Onimusha’s comeback. A new gameplay trailer has been debuted, which gives fans a small glimpse at the gameplay and narrative that awaits them as the series returns in 2026.

Why it matters: Onimusha has long been a fan favorite in the gaming industry, and the latest gameplay trailer highlights exactly why this franchise has been so appealing.

The trailer sets a strong first impression with gorgeous visuals and cutscenes. It showcases the series’ new protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, and following a brief introduction, the latest footage transitions right into the melee combat gameplay.

The melee combat is shown to be impactful and extremely well-animated. Onimusha: Way of the Sword also appears to incorporate environmental elements into combat, with the protagonist using the environment for cover and crowd control.

All in all, Capcom seems to have done the series justice, appealing to both new and old fans. While more information has yet to appear, the launch is still over a year out, so this is just a small taste of things to come.

As a reminder, Onimusha: Way of the Sword officially arrives in 2026. Recent rumors have also alluded to the return of IPs like Devil May Cry, giving Capcom fans plenty of reason to be excited about the future.
