The latest Capcom Spotlight and Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase have brought a wealth of exciting updates for fans of Capcom's diverse game lineup. From new trailers and beta test details for Monster Hunter Wilds to fresh information on Onimusha: Way of the Sword and a remastered version of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, there's plenty to look forward to. Additionally, we've got a release date for Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and more.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Gets a Bunch of New Details

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is slated for a 2026 release and Capcom has shared several exciting details about what fans can anticipate from this latest installment in the franchise.

The development team is focusing on three key elements: crafting compelling characters, introducing a new protagonist, and designing engaging enemies. They aim to bring to life the historical setting of Kyoto, filled with authentic locations. The ultimate goal is to deliver the "ultimate sword fighting action" experience, emphasizing the visceral thrill of combat.

Set in the Edo Period, Onimusha: Way of the Sword will see players battling the malevolent Genma. Our new protagonist, due to a twist of fate, will wield the Oni Gauntlet, using it to vanquish foes and harvest their souls.

While the game will pose a challenge, the team is committed to ensuring it remains accessible to action game enthusiasts of all skill levels, avoiding an "impossibly difficult" experience.

Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Is Getting a Remastered Version in 2025

The 2002 classic, Onimusha: Samurai's Destiny, is set to receive a remastered edition in 2025. Capcom hopes this will tide fans over until the release of Onimusha: Way of the Sword in 2026.
