Capcom · Swordplay Action · Out Now

What is Onimusha: Way of the Sword?
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is Capcom's swordplay action game and the first new Onimusha title in over 20 years. Set in an Edo-era Kyoto twisted by malevolent Malice, it follows Miyamoto Musashi wielding the power of the Oni against the Genma horde.
From perfectly timed Issen counters to soul-absorbing Oni Gauntlet upgrades and a blood-soaked recreation of historic Kyoto, the game blends classic samurai horror with modern action depth across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
