Onimusha: Way of the Sword is out now, released on September 4, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Why some pages still show September 25
Capcom announced September 25 on June 3, 2026. On July 2, Capcom published a newer notice moving the launch forward to Friday, September 4. Older store caches, press posts, and search snippets may still display the first date.
When two official pages conflict, the later dated update controls this guide. The September 25 announcement remains useful as a historical source for the Demo and platform list, but not as the current launch date.

Capcom’s current lineup does not include PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or the original Nintendo Switch. The announced platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Regional unlocks and launch downloads
Capcom’s September 1 release and preload notice includes a regional time-zone map. Check that notice and your own platform store if the game is not unlocked in your region; September 4 is not a single worldwide unlock hour.
Capcom also warns that a preload may require additional update data after launch. Allow the platform to finish its downloads before treating an incomplete preload as a game fault.
