Capcom unveils new details for the highly anticipated Onimusha: Way of the Sword, slated for a 2026 release. Prepare for visceral combat set against the backdrop of iconic Kyoto locations. This installment boasts a revamped combat system and introduces a fresh protagonist to the Onimusha universe.
The core gameplay revolves around the visceral thrill of swordplay. Developers aim for unparalleled realism, achieved through the introduction of new Genma enemies and the ability to wield both blades and the formidable Omni Gauntlet. The key focus is the satisfying brutality of combat, enhanced by a soul absorption mechanic that replenishes health and unlocks special abilities. While some trailers may omit graphic content, Capcom confirms that dismemberment and blood effects will be fully present in the final game.
Building upon the classic Onimusha aesthetic, the game incorporates dark fantasy elements and leverages "Capcom's latest technology" to deliver an unparalleled gaming experience.
Expect a compelling cast of characters, including a new hero, and enemies that are more than just visually striking. The Edo period (1603-1868) serves as the game's historical setting, with Kyoto's rich history and mysterious legends forming the backdrop for the action. Fueled by unwavering faith, the protagonist gains possession of the Oni Gauntlet, embarking on a quest to vanquish monstrous creatures, absorbing their souls to heal and unleash devastating special moves. Expect encounters with real historical figures as well. Real-time sword combat is at the forefront, with developers emphasizing the player's enjoyment of the enemy's destruction.
