Right after releasing Pragmata back in April, Capcom reminded its fans that they were not yet done releasing games in 2026, as Onimusha: Way of the Sword was still scheduled to launch before the end of the year. During today's State of Play presentation , the Japanese publisher confirmed the game will launch, as rumored , on September 25 .

The new trailer didn't just confirm the game's release date, as it provided a new look at the many dangers waiting for Musashi as he slashes his way in this gorgeous fantasy rendition of feudal Japan .

While Onimusha: Way of the Sword is not too far from release, fans won't have to wait until then to get their first taste of the new entry in the series in a very long time. During the State of Play presentation, it has also been confirmed that a new demo is launching today on all platforms .

Despite having had the chance to try out the game last year, I am looking forward to joining Musashi in Onimusha: Way of the Sword new demo to see how the experience has been polished since. "If the final release holds to the quality level showcased in the demo, Onimusha: Way of the Sword will undoubtedly be the revival the classic action-adventure series deserved after years of complete silence," I wrote in my Gamescom 2025 hands-on.
