Listen Up, Warriors! Capcom just dropped a fresh Onimusha: Way of the Sword trailer packed with gameplay details at the PlayStation State of Play and its hype is soaring up high. With the game set to release in 2026, the gameplay trailer lays focus on the hero that’ll rule the game, and the gaming community is going all crazy with this latest reveal. Stay hooked as we take you through all the details of the Onimusha Way of the Sword gameplay trailer.
Protagonist Reveal
As Capcom premiered the trailer at State of Play, it mixed cutscenes with gameplay teases along with revealing the protagonist. And, the protagonist is none other than the legendary Musashi Miyamoto, who looks very ready to throw hands and swords. He seems to be based on the real-deal samurai from the Edo period, rocking a dual-blade stance, the signature move of this legendary hero.
Musashi’s face is apparently modeled after the legendary Toshiro Mifune, the late, legendary Japanese Movie star who has played his role in Samurai Movies. Now, let us take you through the brief gameplay that has been revealed in the trailer.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword- Gameplay
The gameplay trailer begins with a bunch of enemies that players will be slicing through as they fight their way through the game. The gameplay seems to be a blend of fast, reactive swordplay mixed with smart positioning. In this new trailer, Musashi is shown parrying like a pro before going full offense. This hints towards defense and strategy as the key gameplay elements that’ll be needed to ace the game. As the trailer progresses, Musashi is frequently outnumbered in fights. So, when players hop onto the game, they’ll have to stay sharp and fight smart. Along with it, they need to be git-gud at parrying, dodging, and slicing their way through the chaos.
The gameplay trailer also shows Musashi grabbing a table and yeeting the enemies, along with some crazy slicing. We also see glimpses of the Oni gauntlet, which is a powerful equipment used by those who fight Oni. But, with the trailer reveal, Capcom still seems to be keeping the juicy details under wraps for now. As the game releases, it is set to bring some deadly swordplay as players fight Genma, the enemies. They are straight out of the deepest pits of hell and have invaded Kyoto, bringing in much chaos.
Summary
“Swordplay is a game of Strength, Winning is what matters”- Says Musashi as the trailer begins. And, the game is all set to bring in some stunning swordplay as the game releases in 2026. As Capcom announced Onimusha: Way of the Sword at the State of Play, it also revealed the release date of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. It will hit the consoles on May 23, 2025. As the game releases, one thing’s for sure, Onimusha is gearing up for an epic comeback, and the gaming community is in for a wild ride.
