The Onimusha series has been dormant for over two decades, but Capcom is set to revive the samurai action franchise with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The game promises a dark-fantasy experience with moments of horror, which is evident in the game's underground lab sections. Despite its horror elements, the game's developers insist that it is not a horror game.

The game's story takes place in the early Edo-period Kyoto, where players will control the protagonist Miyamoto Musashi as he navigates the city's dark underbelly. The game's dark-fantasy elements are deeply rooted in Kyoto's myths and legends, making for a unique and captivating experience.
