Capcom is on a roll this year, starting with Resident Evil Requiem, continuing with Pragmata, and maintaining its stellar 2026 run with the release of Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s. With a lineup like this, Capcom is truly the final boss of 2026. Speaking of the game itself, the legendary action-adventure series returns, bringing the iconic Miyamoto Musashi back to battle after a 20-year absence.
The story follows the Oni-Gauntlet-wielding samurai against the Genma monstrosities and Malice in the historic Japanese capital of Edo-period Kyoto. The title promises incredible combat, gorgeous visuals, and an equally goofy-yet-badass protagonist to play as. That said, here are Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s global release times, including a countdown timer and preload sizes.
