Capcom has electrified the gaming community with a stunning new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Samurai during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025. The highly anticipated Onimusha: Way of the Samurai is scheduled for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC next year, with the latest footage revealing a brutally intense and atmospheric experience that stays true to the series' roots while pushing boundaries.

The legendary Onimusha franchise first emerged in 2001, establishing itself as a groundbreaking fusion of historical Japanese settings with supernatural horror elements. Over the years, the series produced several sequels and spin-offs, with the last mainline installment being Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams back in 2006. Following this release, Capcom primarily focused on remasters, a browser-based adaptation, and a VR experience—until the monumental announcement of Onimusha: Way of the Sword at The Game Awards last year, signaling a triumphant return to form for the beloved series.

During Gamescom, Capcom unveiled a visceral and action-packed gameplay trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Samurai that left audiences captivated. The footage showcases protagonist Miyamoto Musashi battling grotesque monsters in a nightmarish version of Kyoto during the Edo period. The trailer's climax features an epic boss confrontation where the legendary swordsman faces a colossal creature armed with tail attacks and covered in menacing spikes. Throughout the combat sequences, Miyamoto demonstrates masterful sword techniques with precise strikes, expert parries, and versatile weapon usage including bows and double-sided spears, promising deep and dynamic gameplay mechanics.
