Slay Genma Monstrosities in Edo Era Kyoto

Players will engage in tactical, high-stakes swordplay as the warrior searches for his true reason to fight in an unforgiving world.

The wait to unleash the power of the Oni Gauntlet is nearly over. Capcom confirmed that Onimusha: Way of the Sword is locked in for a global release on September 15th. The dark fantasy epic will be available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
