New Onimusha Game Titled Way of the Sword

Another surprise announcement made at The Game Awards 2024 was the return of the Onimusha franchise with a new title called Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The game does not yet have a firm release date, but it is expected for to debut on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in sometime in 2026.

The trailer opens on several moody scenes of a decrepit Japanese temple as red wisps drift by. Eventually, they all are absorbed by a lone warrior’s mystic gauntlet. We then get a look at what could be some in-game executions of zombie swordsmen, as well as the new hero in combat against a large, axe-wielding warrior and a giant, horned beast. The trailer then fades out as someone remarks that they’re “becoming less human by the minute.” We’re then left with a 2026 release date.
