Capcom’s new action-adventure game Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been newly summarized from the official post as launching for PlayStation 5 on September 4, 2026. In this post, PlayStation Blog also covered details related to the new trailer, demo update, and PS5 features. Since the price was not confirmed in the official post, it is being left as price unannounced, and Korean retailers and Korea pricing still need to be checked separately.
Kyoto in the early Edo period appears as a stage occupied by the Genma
The official post describes the setting of Onimusha: Way of the Sword as Kyoto in the early Edo period. The starting point is a situation where Kyoto, once the capital, is threatened by hordes of monsters called the Genma, putting a composition that layers historic locations and supernatural enemies on the same screen at the front.
The character players take on is Miyamoto Musashi. The official post explains that Musashi fights using the power of the Oni, presenting sword-centered action and monster-slaying as the basic axis of this title.
Musashi’s face model is listed as Toshiro Mifune
One especially striking part of the official post is the protagonist’s face. Miyamoto Musashi’s face model is said to be based on Toshiro Mifune, which gives the character image a strong live-action period-drama impression.
That choice does not rely only on the character’s name recognition. It is a way of bringing together the historic name Musashi, the cinematic image of Toshiro Mifune, and Onimusha-style supernatural swordplay within one character.
A new trailer and demo update were introduced together
The PlayStation Blog title and description include both the reveal of a new trailer and a demo update. Rather than a post that simply announces the release date again, it is an official update that bundles information for checking the actual visuals and how the controls feel.
The price was not confirmed in this official post. Therefore, the currently confirmed purchase information is limited to the September 4, 2026 release date, PlayStation 5 platform, and price unannounced, while Korean store pricing and Korean retailers still need separate confirmation.
PS5 details should be checked first before separating out news on other platforms
The platform fixed by this official source is PlayStation 5. Although the article candidates also included demo news for other platforms, this JSON structures the article around the PS5 release date and officially released images confirmed through the official PlayStation Blog.
Before purchasing, platform listing, release date, demo availability, and price should be cross-checked again on the same store page. In particular, once a preorder page opens for Korean accounts, checking the price, language support, and download size together will help reduce confusion.
Sources and checked date: Checked on 2026-08-27 KST
Because the price was not confirmed in the official post, it has been marked as price unannounced. Korean retailers and Korea pricing still need to be checked, while the release date and platform are based on the official PlayStation Blog post.
