New Gameplay Trailer Unveiled for Onimusha: Way of the Sword
Excitement mounts as the first gameplay footage of Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been revealed in a recently broadcasted State of Play event. This trailer showcases significant insights into the game’s mechanics and storyline, reigniting interest among longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Meet the Legendary Miyamoto Musashi
The trailer features the iconic Miyamoto Musashi, who takes center stage as the main character. Viewers are treated to impressive scenes of Musashi battling zombie samurai, employing a sword and utilizing the environment to his advantage. This grounded combat system distinguishes itself from many modern action games, which often resort to excessive and fantastical elements, and remains true to the essence of the Onimusha franchise.
As players embark on this journey, there is hope for the inclusion of the Niten Ichi-ryū combat style—an innovative technique that Musashi created and honed throughout his life. While this signature style was not highlighted in the initial gameplay showcase, its eventual appearance would further enhance the authentic samurai experience.

In addition to the Onimusha: Way of the Sword trailer, the recent presentation also featured an enhanced trailer for Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Fans can look forward to a remaster of this classic title, now equipped with improved graphics and visual fidelity. Jubei Yagyu, the protagonist from the original game, can be seen in action, showcasing the nostalgic elements of the series paired with contemporary enhancements.
Release Date and Platforms
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is set for launch in 2026, available on multiple platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. The anticipation surrounding these releases is palpable as fans await a return to the iconic universe of Onimusha.
