Capcom has given us our first real look at Onimusha: Way of the Sword — and it looks superb.
This new trailer shows off some in-game combat footage, and much like the developers have said previously, there's a clear focus on sword-based action, with thoughtful movement, parries, and killer finishers all playing a role.
What's more, it's been revealed that the protagonist is Miyamoto Musashi himself — the legendary swordsman who lived in 16th and 17th century Japan. He seems to be portrayed as a lighthearted but skilled warrior here.
Way of the Sword is still due to release for PS5 in 2026 — but are you feeling the hype? Cleave a demon in half in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.
