Capcom has begun releasing short videos for Onimusha: Way of the Sword on YouTube, X, and TikTok. The first video demonstrates the series' signature Issen (Instant Slash) action. The game launches September 4, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A demo is available now, and pre-orders for a collector's edition with a vinyl soundtrack and art book are open.
The first video, titled 'Issen 5 Consecutive! This is Onimusha!,' focuses on the series' signature Instant Slash mechanic. Capcom plans to release more short clips periodically on its official channels until the game's September 4 release. Alongside the video campaign, a demo lets players try combat on the Kiyomizudera stage and fight rival Sasaki Gannryu. Pre-orders are also live for the 'Art & Music Collection' edition, which includes a vinyl LP of 14 tracks and a 64-page art book.
