Capcom has pulled the release date for Onimusha: Way of the Sword forward by three weeks. The action-adventure game now launches September 4 instead of the previously announced September 25, across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

Way of the Sword is the first Onimusha game in 20 years — the last mainline entry, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, came out on PS2 in 2006. The new game is set in Kyoto during the early Edo period. A playable demo is already live on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. Players who have demo save data on their system and then buy the full game will unlock a Kubi Akari charm as a bonus.

Capcom is riding a strong 2026 so far — Resident Evil Requiem drew big review scores and strong sales earlier this year, and Way of the Sword picked up positive impressions from hands-on sessions at Summer Game Fest. IGN gave the game an 8.8 out of 10 in their preview coverage.

With the date now sitting in early September, Onimusha: Way of the Sword arrives sooner than anyone expected. If you haven't tried the demo yet, that Kubi Akari charm is a decent reason to jump in before launch.
