Onimusha Way of the Sword Gets Free Monster Hunter Rise Costume DLC

Capcom began distributing free Monster Hunter Rise collaboration costumes for Onimusha: Way of the Sword on September 7. The DLC adds two outfits: Yo no Kei for Oni no Kajin (Shizuka Gozen), modeled after village receptionist Hinoe, and Yomogi no Mai for Izumo no Okuni, modeled after tea house girl Yomogi. Both costumes change appearance only and carry no combat performance effects. Players equip them through the Hama Kagami menu's Yosooi no Henkou option, which unlocks progressively as the game advances. The DLC requires the base game and is available through digital stores. To mark the collaboration, Capcom published a special three-chapter manga titled Onimusha wa Gekiteki da yo!, following Hinoe and Yomogi as they visit the Kyoto of Onimusha: Way of the Sword. It is available on the official website and official social accounts. A second three-chapter manga, Shizu to Okuni ga Asobi ni Kita yo!, featuring Shizuka and Okuni visiting Kamura village, is scheduled for September 8. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched September 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

The press materials note with a wink that Hinoe's outfit cannot accept quests and Yomogi's cannot make dango rice dumplings, a nod to the characters' jobs in Monster Hunter Rise. The costumes are cosmetic only, and players equip them through the Hama Kagami menu's Yosooi no Henkou option, which unlocks as the story progresses. The DLC requires the base game and is distributed through each digital store.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched September 4 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows. It is a sword action game set in early Edo period Kyoto, where the Genma, grotesque beings twisted by miasma, roam the city. The player controls Miyamoto Musashi, who gains oni power through the oni gauntlet. Combat centers on timed parries and deflections, with the Issen counter and a skill tree that unlocks new actions. The standard edition is priced at 8,990 yen and carries a CERO Z rating for ages 18 and up.
