Game Informer • • technology
Key Points:
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the newest installment in Capcom’s samurai action series, launches next month after a 20-year hiatus and is confirmed to be a character action game rather than an open-world or Soulslike title.
- The game features challenging boss fights and combat mastery with protagonist Miyamoto Musashi, but does not include the harsh penalties or exploration typical of Soulslike games.
- While not open-world, the game includes an “open-town” hub set in Kyoto, offering side quests, NPC interactions, hidden secrets, and exploration within a more contained environment.
- The demo is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version launching alongside the game but lacking a demo.
- Game Informer is providing extensive coverage of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, including exclusive gameplay videos and interviews, with more insights into the game’s development and features available on their platform.
