Capcom used its TGS 2025 Online Program to drop a new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the next big entry in the long-running series.
Disclaimer: Rated RP-M for blood, gore, and violence. You’ve been warned.
The trailer focuses on Musashi’s storyline, showing how the legendary swordsman will be pulled into the series’ trademark blend of samurai drama and supernatural action.
The game is slated for 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Here’s what we know so far:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Title | Onimusha: Way of the Sword |
| Platforms | PS5, Xbox Series X |
| Release Window | 2026 |
| Focus | Musashi’s story, Sengoku-era setting with supernatural elements |
| Series Background | Ongoing since 2001, blending real Japanese history with fantasy |
The Onimusha franchise debuted back in 2001, retelling Sengoku-era history through the lens of survival action and demonic encounters. Over the years, it has delivered some of Capcom’s most stylish and atmospheric work.
The most recent projects included remasters of Onimusha: Warlords (2019) and Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny (2024).
The series has expanded beyond games too.
There was a CG film based on Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in 2006, and more recently, a Netflix anime adaptation in 2023 directed by Shin’ya Sugai with Takashi Miike as supervising director.
With Way of the Sword, Capcom is signaling a proper return for the series.
Fans, like me, who grew up on the PS2-era games will recognize the DNA here, but the new focus on Musashi could give this entry a sharper narrative hook.
Let’s wait and see what the finished product looks like.

Dante is Editor-in-Chief (Lord Hokage), which means he runs editorial and operations at BrandAnime. That means this whole thing was his idea, and he spends his time making stuff work and covering the latest anime and games. When he's not doing 100 things at once, he's usually... watching anime or playing games. His life isn't that interesting, honestly.
