The latest Capcom Spotlight has arrived and promises exciting updates on some of the company's biggest upcoming games and new content for its existing ones. This roundup will gather all the biggest news and we'll be updating it throughout the show!
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently in development for a 2026 release date and Capcom gave us a few more exciting details on what fans can expect from the franchise's return.
When creating this new entry, the team is focusing on three core aspects, including creating compelling characters, a new protagonist, and engaging enemies. They are doing all they can to recreate the setting of Kyoto, which is "brimming with historic spots." Lastly, the team wants to create the "ultimate sword fighting action" game, and will do all it can to bring that to life.
While we didn't learn much about this new protagonist, it was confirmed Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be set in the Edo Period and will see us fighting off against evil creatures known as Genma. Due to a "twist of fate," our protagonist will wield an Oni Gauntlet and use it to dispatch any foes in his path and feed it souls in return.
The game will be challenging, but the team doesn't want it to be "impossibly difficult." Instead, it wants it to be a game that action fans of all skill levels can enjoy to its fullest.
2002's Onimusha: Samurai's Destiny will be getting a remastered version in 2025, and Capcom hopes it will help with the wait for Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026.
