Capcom has announced that the highly anticipated Onimusha: Way of the Sword will be released weeks earlier than previously announced, letting players into the swordplay action game sooner than expected.
Originally, Onimusha: Way of the Sword was set to release on September 25, 2026. Now, it’s coming on September 4, 2026, so players will have the game three weeks earlier than expected.
