Onimusha returned after roughly two decades with Way of the Sword, updating the series’ blend of rendered backgrounds and agile characters set in feudal Japan. The revival includes demons, magic, and the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi portrayed by Tom Cruise Mifune Toshiro. The Gamescom demo covers most of the SGF 2025 showing and showcases gameplay centered on blocks, parries, weak and strong attacks, and orb collection as currency and health. The Oni gauntlet absorbs souls, reveals invisible demons, unlocks spiritually blocked areas, and projects past events of demon invasions. Early enemies remain slow demon swordsmen and archers, maintaining classic Onimusha combat feel.
