Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Nintendo Switch 2

Buy Onimusha: Way of the Sword for Nintendo Switch 2 in Australia

Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Nintendo Switch 2 is Capcom's first new mainline Onimusha game in 20 years, a dark fantasy samurai action-adventure built on the RE Engine. Step into the role of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi and cut your way through Edo-period Kyoto, a city twisted by malevolent clouds of Malice and overrun by demonic Genma.

Directed by Satoru Nihei, the game pairs intense, precise swordplay with a brand-new story that stands on its own, so it's the perfect starting point whether you played the PS2 originals or you're discovering the series for the first time. The Switch 2 version has earned universal acclaim from critics.

Master the Oni Gauntlet

Musashi wields the Oni Gauntlet, a sentient weapon that absorbs the souls of fallen Genma. Yellow souls restore health, red souls power up your abilities, and blue souls fuel special weapon attacks. Use Oni Vision to sense hidden enemies and turn the demons' own power against them.

Parry, Break and Issen

Combat is all about timing. Deflect incoming blows to drain an enemy's stamina, then finish them with a devastating Break Issen, the series' signature instant-kill strike. Every duel rewards patience, reading your opponent and striking at exactly the right moment.

Exclusive Joy-Con 2 Motion Controls

The Nintendo Switch 2 edition adds exclusive motion controls using Joy-Con 2, letting you swing your sword and aim your bow with your own movements. Prefer traditional controls? Play on the TV, in tabletop mode or fully handheld.

A Legend Brought to Life

Musashi is modelled on the likeness of legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, secured after two years of work with Mifune Productions. Capcom also consulted real swordsmen for motion capture and worked with Japanese temple officials to capture Kyoto's history, making this the most authentic Onimusha yet. Face off against the rival swordsman Sasaki Ganryu and uncover the dark forces behind the Genma invasion.
