From a remaster in 2018 to an anime adaptation a couple of years ago, there have been a couple of indications in recent years that Capcom is looking to do new things with the long-dormant Onimusha franchise, and now, a revival has finally been confirmed. After years of demands from fans, Onimusha is coming back.

At The Game Awards, Capcom unveiled Onumisha: Way of the Sword, an entirely new entry in the action games franchise. The trailer with which the game was announced was a brief one, though it did showcase glimpses of the combat, the period Japanese setting, and some of the monsters and enemies that players will be locking horns with. Visually and aesthetically, it’s looking like an exciting evolution of the series, though as you might imagine, there’s not that much that is revealed in the brief trailer. Check it out below. 

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is due out sometime in 2026. It will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
