Capcom Announces Onimusha: Way of the Sword for Nintendo Switch 2 (Sep 25 2026)

Capcom confirmed that the next entry in the Onimusha series, **Onimusha: Way of the Sword**, will debut on Nintendo Switch 2 on 25 September 2026, with simultaneous releases for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC via Steam. The Switch 2 version will run at 1080p upscaled to 30 fps when docked and at 900p upscaled to 30 fps in handheld mode, and includes an optional variable frame‑rate setting that can toggle between 30 and 40 fps.

The game follows a youthful Miyamoto Musashi as he battles demonic Genma invading a dark‑fantasy rendition of Edo‑period Kyoto, wielding the mystical Oni Gauntlet. Motion‑controlled Joy‑Con 2 sticks enhance sword combat, and the title promises access to historically inaccessible sites such as Kyoto's Rokudō Chinnō‑ji well, recreated with local government support. This marks the franchise’s first major new release in two decades.
