Onimusha: Way of the Sword Announced

At the 2024 Game Awards event, Capcom announced the new game in the Onimusha series, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The return of the legendary series after a long hiatus created great excitement in the gaming community. The Onimusha series, which was first released in 2001 and became a classic over time, was reminded of the players with the Onimusha: Warlords remaster in 2018. It was announced that the series will be revived with modern graphics and innovative mechanics with this new production.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is Developed with the RE Engine

Capcom announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword is being developed with the new generation RE Engine. This engine has previously been used in popular games such as Resident Evil and Devil May Cry and has attracted attention with its extraordinary graphic performance. The game will meet players on PC and consoles in 2026. Although limited information has been given about the story details and gameplay mechanics for now, it has been confirmed that the soulslike mechanics will return. This innovation will both preserve the classic atmosphere of the series and adapt to modern player expectations.

Many people thought that the Onimusha series would never return. However, a data leak that Capcom experienced a few years ago pointed to the existence of a new Onimusha project. In addition, Capcom brought the Onimusha anime to life as a result of the agreement it made with Netflix. This collaboration was considered an important clue that strengthened the possibility of the series returning with a new game.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword seems to be a turning point not only for fans of the series, but also for the new generation of players. Aiming to revive the legendary spirit of the series with modern graphics, a strong story and deep-rooted mechanics, this production is preparing to deeply affect the gaming world in 2026.
