In the wake of feedback regarding the recently released demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Capcom has issued a brief response to players concerned that the demo does not feel challenging enough for them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you so much for playing the demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword,\u201d said producer Akihito Kadowaki in the video published via Onimusha\u2019s official social channel.<\/u><\/a> \u201cWe\u2019ve heard the feedback that the demo felt too easy for some people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst, the demo is just a slice of the early part of the story. Also, we really wanted you to enjoy a variety of Musashi\u2019s actions, so we intentionally equipped him with some late-game skills. Because of that, some players might have felt a lack of challenge.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest assured, in the final game, the bosses and the regular Genma will put up a tougher fight. Please look forward to the challenge in the full game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available to play now on PC and console. According to Capcom the demo has reached one million downloads.<\/u><\/a> <\/p>\n

The game itself is due to arrive on September 25, 2026 \u2013 wedged between Silent Hill: Townfall and Ace Combat 8. There\u2019s precious little wiggle room in September, which has been turned into an all-in brawl as publishers evacuate the final months of 2026<\/u><\/a> (and the gravitational pull of Grand Theft Auto 6).<\/p>\n

Onimusha: Way of the Sword was first announced at The Game Awards 2024<\/u><\/a>. It is the first proper sequel in the series since the PlayStation 2 era.<\/p>\n

A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Onimusha: Way of the Sword was confirmed earlier today during the latest Nintendo Direct.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n
