Capcom shares updates on Onimusha series, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and Monster Hunter Wilds

Capcom held a double-feature livestream, combining our latest news and updates in one special show. We shared the news on our upcoming lineup in Capcom Spotlight, followed by a deep dive into the highly anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds ahead of launch on February 28. 

Here’s the big news from the show.

Additional details were shared on the brand-new title in Capcom’s legendary swordplay action series, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. In this new entry, the team is focusing on three core aspects. 

Onimusha: Way of the Sword tells the heroic tale of a sole samurai fighting against hordes of twisted creatures known as the Genma. Wielding an Oni Gauntlet, our new protagonist will mow down enemies in this dramatic story, set in a beautiful and eerie rendition of Kyoto. True to the series’ soul-sucking action combat, absorbing souls to restore health and use special moves in the heat of battle is key to victory. 

Experience thrilling sword fights and slice through hordes of Genma when Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on PS5 in 2026.

Ahead of the launch of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the second entry in the series, Onimusha: Samurai’s Destiny, will be remastered for PlayStation 4. This marks the first time this classic title in the series has been released since its original 2002 launch on PlayStation 2. We hope you look forward to experiencing the second entry in the series, whether you’re a series veteran or newcomer.

In the Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase, we debuted a new trailer for the game, introducing the Iceshard Cliffs locale, the new monster Hirabami, returning monsters Nersyclla and Gore Magala, and a wide array of customization options for your hunter. 

We also shared further details on the upcoming second Open Beta Test, which will include new features such as an advanced quest with the game’s flagship monster, Arkveld, a training area, and other online features.
