Capcom has introduced a brand new launch date for Onimusha: Means of the Sword: as an alternative of September 25, the PS2-era reboot will now launch on September 4. It is the second time Capcom has pulled this transfer in 2026, as a result of Pragmata additionally received moved ahead on the eleventh hour.
However in contrast to Pragmata’s April launch window, September is fairly rattling busy. Beforehand Onimusha was butting heads with Silent Hill: Townfall and Management Resonant, each of that are scheduled for September 24. Now its solely significant competitors is The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut motion RPG from Insurgent Wolves, a Polish studio helmed by former CD Projekt devs. It is positively wiser for Onimusha to go up towards a brand new collection fairly than two beloved ones, although Insurgent Wolves would possibly see issues otherwise.
And look: I assumed this Onimusha reboot can be a fairly area of interest concern, however my PC Gamer colleagues are fairly impressed by what they’ve seen. Morgan Park thought it was the smartest thing he noticed on the 2025 Summer time Recreation Fest, a lot in order that he went again for extra this yr. The latest demo was acquired properly by the general public.
That stated, a sure sort of RPG fanatic will not let a Capcom parry-fest get in the way in which of Blood of Dawnwalker, which helps you to kill any NPC you want. If that is not incentive sufficient to stay with the vampire RPG, I do not know what else to say.
Should you occur to have pre-ordered Onimusha already, or plan to, that association has modified barely: the pre-order bonus is now known as an “early adopter bonus”, and is on the market till September 25.
September is busy, October is busy, however November? Nobody’s going up towards GTA 6, besides Devolver and this delightfully ’90s wanting base-builder.
