Capcom Sticks to Its Guns: Onimusha: Way of the Sword Set for September Release

In a gaming landscape buzzing with excitement for GTA 6, Capcom is standing firm on its release schedule for Onimusha: Way of the Sword. With Rockstar’s much-anticipated title set to drop in November 2026, many developers have been scrambling to either launch their games early or avoid the GTA juggernaut altogether. It seems September has emerged as the go-to month for those looking to steer clear of the GTA storm.

Earlier this month, Capcom officially announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword would be hitting stores on September 25. However, just last week, some rumors began swirling, fueled by a retailer listing that hinted at a potential change in the release date. Many assumed that with a flood of titles shifting to the same timeframe to escape GTA 6, Capcom might reconsider its timing.

But in a recent Capcom Spotlight, the doubts were put to rest. An English-speaking narrator confirmed, “Once more, Onimusha: Way of the Sword releases on September 25, 2026.” So, fans can breathe easy knowing that the iconic franchise isn’t budging.

However, September is shaping up to be a packed month, with heavy hitters like Marvel’s Wolverine, Silent Hill: Townfall, Control Resonant, The Blood of Dawnwalker, and Shinobi Art of Vengeance vying for attention. Onimusha has a loyal fanbase, which should help it stand tall amidst the competition, but it’ll be interesting to see which titles emerge victorious in this crowded arena.

As anticipation builds, gamers are left to ponder: which games will truly stand the test of time in a post-GTA 6 world? If you’re eager to secure your copy of Onimusha, now’s the time to get ready!
