Capcom has seen success this year, courtesy of Monster Hunter Wilds and its eight million sales in the first three days. While the rest of the year remains a mystery, the company has confirmed a heavy hitter for 2026 with Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
Though it could be a long wait for its release, director Satoru Nihei and producer Akihito Kadowaki have provided new details to Famitsu magazine (translation via DeepL), like the number of hours to clear the game. Kadokawi noted he wanted to make it “a volume that can be satisfied as a single action game.”
He estimates about 20 hours, though it’s not completely clear. The last mainline title, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, takes about 18 hours to complete the story but with side content that can extend to 22 hours on average (via HowLongToBeat). Whether that’s the case in the next entry remains to be seen.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. It stars Miyamoto Musashi (featuring the likeness of the late Toshiro Mifune), who ventures through Edo-era Kyoto and battles the Genma.
