Announced during The Game Awards last December, Onimusha: Way of the Sword revealed itself a little more during Capcom Spotlight this week. The Japanese publisher discussed the main axes of this episode.
First of all, this epic will take place in Kyoto, in the middle of the Edo period which began in 1600 and ended in 1868. The emphasis will be on the dark fantasy aspect. This opus will feature charismatic characters, including a new hero and completely new enemies. The Japanese publisher also promises very elaborate sword fights.
Onimusha obliges, the Oni glove will allow to absorb souls to restore the health of our avatar and use special skills. The developers say they are not trying to make an extremely difficult game and that the experience will be aimed at fans of action games. Blood and dismemberment will also be part of it.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released in 2026.
