''It's The Only Way To Survive''

Onimusha Way of the Sword

Onimusha Way of the Sword is Capcom's long awaited continuation of it's classic game series which started life on the PS2 in 2001, though the series was originally in development for the PS1 but was scrapped. The series originally created by Yoshiki Okamoto.

Way of the Sword will be the first mainline game since 2006. Though there have been spin offs and remasters as well. Directed by Satoru Nihei and running on Capcom's RE Engine.

It released on September 4th 2026 across PS5 / XBOX SERIES / PC and Switch 2.

PS5 and XBOX get a physical Game disc or digital downloads , PC is a download only and Nintendo Switch 2 is a Gamekey , which basically means it's a download.

Nowadays all games have to be installed anyway and unless a game releases on a Disc complete ( which is rare, especially for XBOX ) or full on cart for Switch you have to have a internet connection to play the game, as there's always updates anyway.

The Story

In way of the Sword we follow one Miyamoto Musashi, based on the legendary Samurai. Musashi in turn is modelled on Toshiro Mifune who played the character in a series of films.

Set in the EDO period of Japan it focuses on a alternate version of Kyoto where demons and Monsters are prevalent. Also Musashi has a gauntlet which devours the souls of the demons that he kills, thus replenishing is life force and power dependant on the type of soul he collects.
