This Week's New Game Releases Include Onimusha: Way of the Sword

The week of August 31 to September 6, 2026, brings a heavy slate of new game releases across Japan and North America, led by two major action titles. Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on September 4 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at 8,990 yen. The sword-fighting action game is set in early Edo-period Kyoto transformed by miasma, with players controlling swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who bears the Oni Gauntlet and battles the supernatural Genma. Stages recreate real landmarks like Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Yasui Konpira-gu Shrine. A pre-order bonus offers an omamori charm and sword fittings set usable in-game. The Blood of Dawnwalker, a dark fantasy action RPG from Rebel Wolves, arrives on September 3 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S at 9,790 yen. It stars a Dawnwalker who lives as a human by day and a vampire by night, with day and night gameplay duality as a key attraction. Also releasing this week are Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition, My Hero Academia: All's Justice, and Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault.

This week's release calendar is dominated by two action titles with contrasting settings. Onimusha: Way of the Sword brings the series back to early Edo-period Kyoto, where miasma has transformed the city and its landmarks. The game's stages draw on real locations such as Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Yasui Konpira-gu Shrine, and its Genma enemies incorporate Japanese folklore. A hands-on report from 4Gamer.net highlights the Razagansen battle system and the wide-linear field that recreates Kyoto. The Blood of Dawnwalker, from Rebel Wolves, takes a different approach with its day-night duality: protagonist Coen fights with swordsmanship and magic during the day, then gains vampire powers at night, risking his sense of self if he does not consume blood. The title is available at 9,790 yen. Both games also come with pre-order bonuses, and the list of releases across Japan and North America includes additional titles such as NBA 2K27, Serious Sam: Shatterverse, and BioEden. Release dates remain subject to change at the manufacturer's discretion.
