Capcom pushes forward Onimusha: Way of the Sword release date just days after devs stated they're not afraid of September's busy schedule
Eurogamer.net • • technology
Key Points:
- Capcom has moved up the release date for Onimusha: Way of the Sword to 4th September, three weeks earlier than the original 25th September date, for all platforms including PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch 2.
- The pre-order bonus has been changed to an "early adopter bonus," available until 24th September (25th on Steam and Epic Games Store), giving players a longer period to obtain the digital items.
- The game's demo, available on all platforms except Switch 2, will be updated to reflect the new release date, and completing the demo on the same platform grants a bonus in the full game.
- The announcement came shortly after Capcom producer Akihito Kadowaki acknowledged the crowded September release window during an interview, noting the company had committed to the date early before the release schedule became congested.
- Capcom was among the first to announce a September release for the game during Sony's State of Play in June, prior to the realization of how busy the September period would be for game launches.
