Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches next month on September 4 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via the Epic Games Store and Steam. It will mark the first game in Capcom’s samurai action series in 20 years, and brings players to real-life locations in Kyoto, albeit through the lens of Japan’s early Edo period. A new trailer released by Capcom today features some of that Kyoto, as well as new gameplay footage highlighting a boss fight against the treacherous Rasho-gan.
