Capcom released new footage of Onimusha: Way of the Sword during its Capcom Spotlight broadcast on June 25, 2026. The video shows a battle against a powerful Genma named Dotatsu (also romanized as Dohatten), a swift demon that attacks Miyamoto Musashi with sword techniques and kicks. The game is the latest entry in the Onimusha series, set in early Edo-period Kyoto overrun by demons called Genma. It stars Miyamoto Musashi, who gains the power of the Oni. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled for release on September 25, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Capcom also announced that a PC benchmark software, Onimusha: Way of the Sword Benchmark, will be distributed on Steam and the Epic Games Store starting July 14, allowing players to measure their system's performance while watching a demo playthrough.
