Onimusha™ Explores the Underworld and Exhilarating Sword Combat
A flashy new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword debuted in today’s showcase, delving into an eerie new locale within its dark fantasy world. The latest footage also revealed monstrous enemies and unsheathed a slice of the combat mechanics at the core of the swordplay action.
Watch the thrilling new Onimusha: Way of the Sword trailer here:
Deep beneath the game’s setting of Kyoto is a secret laboratory where a sinister and enigmatic entity known as Dokyo toils away, creating new Genma. Her twisted creations include:
- Greater Nue: A ferocious, Chimeric beast that can harness the power of lightning.
- Kogashira: Humans warped by parasitic Genma that create poisonous clouds of Malice.
- Chijiko: A grotesque mass of interwoven human faces with far-reaching tentacles.
To carve a path through these abominations, protagonist Musashi Miyamoto wields his own powers, including the iconic Issen and Soul Absorption abilities at the core of the Onimusha™ experience:
- Deflect: A defensive action that reflects attacks back at enemies – including projectiles.
- Parry: Well-timed blocks parrying incoming attacks can stagger foes, create openings for counterattacks, and even knock enemies back into their allies or terrain.
- Blazing State: A temporary offensive power-up triggered by landing multiple parries that also generates Blue Souls, fueling special attacks using Oni Power.
- Soul Absorption: Choose the right moment in the heat of battle to absorb the souls of defeated foes to recover health, enhance equipment, unlock new abilities, and more.
- Issen: Strike enemies a split-second before they land a blow to unleash this high-risk, high-reward counterattack that is an iconic element of the Onimusha series.
The trailer also provides a glimpse of combat beyond swordplay, including archery and a dual-edged blade with a whirlwind attack. Stay tuned for more gameplay details as Onimusha: Way of the Sword approaches its 2026 release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
