Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan, the first new mainline entry in the series in nearly two decades. Playing as the samurai Miyamoto Musashi, wielder of the mystical Oni Gauntlet, you cut a bloody path through Malice-corrupted Edo-period Kyoto, battling the demonic Genma that have overrun the historic capital. The combat blends precise, soulslike swordplay with the series' signature Issen counterattack, delivering an unprecedented swordplay-action experience that stays true to the franchise's roots while embracing full 4K visuals.
Musashi's search for his reason to fight takes him through gritty, blood-soaked duels against rivals who match his skill, including a legendary swordsman also armed with an Oni Gauntlet, and monstrosities dragged up from the underworld. Kyoto's shrines and temples, including Kiyomizu-dera, take on an eerie, twisted appearance under the encroaching Malice, giving every stage its own sense of mystery and danger. Pre-order includes bonus in-game content: the Lion Dog charm and the Sealed Curse sword appearance.
