Capcom's stunning Onimusha: Way of the Sword trailer, a standout from the recent State of Play, introduces Miyamoto Musashi as its protagonist. The character model is a striking likeness of legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, lending an air of gravitas to Musashi's fierce battles against demons invading Kyoto. The trailer showcases Musashi's skill with a sword, punctuated by moments of humorous evasion as he confronts the hellish creatures.
The game's narrative reveals Musashi's transformation into an Oni Gauntlet wielder, empowered by his faith. He battles demons, absorbing their souls to replenish health and unleash powerful abilities.
A comparison with the newly revealed Onimusha 2 remaster trailer vividly illustrates the remarkable advancements in graphics technology over the years.
