Capcom has shared a new trailer and details for Onimusha: Way of the Sword introducing new Genma monsters in the upcoming action follow-up.

Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus the new trailer:

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.

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.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is in development for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 with a release set for 2026.
