The new trailer combines cinematic scenes and gameplay, allowing us to see the protagonist Miyamoto Musashi in action as he faces off against a wide variety of Genma monsters.

Among the enemies shown, one of the most attention-grabbing is an enigmatic masked woman with an elongated neck, who appears to be one of the most intimidating battles in the game. The trailer reinforces the dark and fantastical atmosphere of the saga, with a visual finish that demonstrates the studio’s effort to update Onimusha to the current generation.

Although the presented footage has been extensive, Capcom has not yet revealed a specific release date, keeping the 2026 window as the only official horizon. The title will be available on Xbox Series, PC, and PlayStation 5, and promises to recapture the essence of the franchise with a more ambitious and spectacular approach.

With this new appearance, Onimusha confirms that it remains one of the most anticipated projects within Capcom’s catalog, and is shaping up to be a grand return for one of the most beloved sagas in the genre.
