Onimusha: Way of the Sword (鬼武者 Way of the Sword) is a 2026 action-adventure game developed and published by Capcom. As the first mainline installment in the Onimusha series since Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams (2006), the game was released on September 4, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is an action-adventure video game played from a third-person perspective. The game follows a samurai named Miyamoto Musashi (modeled after Toshiro Mifune), as he explores a dark fantasy version of Kyoto during the Edo period and combats rival swordsmen, demons and other supernatural threats.[2] Musashi's primary weapon of choice is a sword, which can be used to strike enemies, parry their attack, or deflect incoming projectiles. A prolonged parry allows Musashi to "steer" his enemy, causing them to fall towards a certain direction.[3] Musashi can also enter a "guard" stance, which blocks attacks from all directions.[4] Striking and parrying will deplete an opponent's stamina, allowing players to use "Break Issen", a move which instantly executes an enemy by dismembering them. Performing consecutive parries or dodges grants Musashi combat buffs, enabling him to swiftly execute enemies in succession or unleash a multi-hit attack, respectively.[5] He can also use the environment to his advantage, such as flipping a table and using it as a temporary shield.[6]
Throughout the game, Musashi is equipped with a sentient gauntlet that consumes the souls of defeated enemies. The game has three types of "souls". Yellow souls replenish the player's health, red souls can be used to buy upgrades, and blue souls allows players to use "Oni Armaments", which are special weapons that deal large damage to enemies. Hitting enemies with Oni Armaments in turn provide players with yellow souls.[7] Using Break Issen on boss characters do not execute them instantly, though it grant players a choice to deal massive amount of damage or gain more souls.[8] With the gauntlet, Musashi can also activate "Oni Vision", which enables him to identify the location of all demons and enemies in an area.[7] Way of the Sword is a largely linear game, though it also has open areas and side quests.[4]
