The wait is almost over for fans of the Onimusha series, as Capcom's latest installment, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, is set to launch next month. The game promises to deliver an action-packed experience, with the demonic Genma invading the living world and wreaking havoc on early Edo-period Kyoto.

According to lead writer Hiroshi Yamashita, the Genma are driven by a simple yet menacing instinct: to kill and eat. However, within their ranks, there are specific Genma with their own motivations and objectives, adding a layer of complexity to the game's narrative.

  • The Genma are attracted to the living world by the negative energy generated by human malice and crime.
  • Mysterious rifts in Kyoto allow the Genma to seep into the real world and invade.
  • Certain Genma have their own motivations and objectives, making them more than just mindless invaders.
  • The Oni, rulers of the underworld, are meant to contain the Genma but are unable to do so due to the growing malice on Earth.
