Capcom has recently unveiled new gameplay footage for their highly anticipated action game, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*, set to release in 2026. The excitement is building as we've learned that the game will feature the legendary Japanese swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi, as its protagonist.

According to Capcom's press release, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* is described as a dark fantasy action game that brings one of Japan's most celebrated historical figures to life.
