Capcom has resurrected the Onimusha series after nearly 20 years, introducing “Way of the Sword.” This installment stars Toshiro Mifune as the legendary Miyamoto Musashi, integrating feudal Japan settings with demon-centric narratives. The game was showcased at Gamescom, with a broader demonstration expected. The demo reflects a forgiving gameplay dynamic centered around blocking and parrying. Special attacks like Musashi’s “Two Celestials” indicate potential for magical gameplay developments. While early enemies are familiar, the duel with rival Ganryu Sasaki presents a significant challenge. “Way of the Sword” will be released in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
