Capcom has revealed technical details for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, its upcoming dark fantasy action title launching on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 25, 2026. The game will run at a base 30 frames per second in both docked and handheld modes, with an optional variable frame rate mode boosting performance between 30 and 40 FPS. Resolution stands at 1080p when docked and 900p in handheld mode, reflecting a balance between visual fidelity and consistent performance.

The game follows Miyamoto Musashi, a fierce young samurai portrayed with facial modeling inspired by the late Japanese cinema icon Toshiro Mifune. Armed with the Oni Gauntlet—a mystical artifact that grants superhuman strength and the ability to absorb Genma souls—Musashi battles supernatural enemies in a Malice-twisted Edo-period Kyoto. Locations like Kiyomizu-dera Temple appear transformed by the game’s eerie atmosphere.

Set against bloodstained battlefields and cloaked in mystery, Onimusha: Way of the Sword revives a classic franchise with modern visuals and intense sword combat. The September 2026 release marks a significant moment for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
