Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword has reached a significant pre-launch milestone, with the publisher confirming that the title has crossed 2 million wishlists. The game is currently set to arrive on PlayStation 5 on September 4, 2026.
Quick Facts
- Release Date: September 4, 2026
- Platform: PlayStation 5
- Series Status: First major entry since 2006's Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams
While wishlist totals do not directly correlate to final sales, the figure indicates high consumer interest leading into the game's launch. This performance follows a year of notable releases from the publisher, including Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
Following feedback from the game's playable demo, which drew some criticism regarding its difficulty, Capcom has stated that the full release will be more challenging. Assistant editor Robert Ramsey noted a positive reception to the demo version in June, highlighting the game's potential to continue the publisher's recent run of successful titles.
The upcoming launch marks the first time the series has returned to a major console release in two decades. Capcom is currently offering pre-order bonuses ahead of the September 4 release date.
