Onimusha: Way of the Sword State of Play 2026 — All Announcements

Onimusha: Way of the Sword was the closing announcement during Sony's February 12, 2026 State of Play broadcast. The reveal came as a surprise—Onimusha had been dormant for eighteen years, and no leaks preceded the announcement. Capcom's segment ran approximately four minutes, covering the reveal trailer, release date, and a brief confirmation of all platforms.

What was announced

Capcom confirmed three key things during State of Play: the game exists, it launches September 25, 2026, and it comes to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The trailer emphasized the RE Engine visuals and the return of the Issen counter system. No price or edition details were shared during the broadcast—those came via a press release later that week.

• First look at the Oni Gauntlet in action with soul absorption and magic.
• Kyoto setting revealed with multiple district shots.
• Genma enemy designs shown: Soldiers, Knights, and the Genma Sovereign.
• Release date: September 25, 2026 confirmed on-screen.

Demo announcement

During the same State of Play, Capcom also announced that a playable demo would release in June 2026. The demo arrived on schedule on June 3, covering the first two areas of Kyoto. State of Play viewers who preordered after the broadcast received a voucher for a themed PSN avatar—a minor bonus that has since expired.
