Published 2026-09-07Updated 2026-09-184 min read

Capcom confirms Onimusha: Way of the Sword sold one million units worldwide on September 4 across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, pushing the series past 10 million.

Day one, one million: Musashi's return is a hit.

Capcom announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword crossed one million units worldwide on its launch day, September 4. The game released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (Steam, Epic and Xbox PC), and the first-day figure makes it an instant member of Capcom's million-seller club.

A 20-Year Wait Ends Loudly

This is the first mainline Onimusha in two decades, following 2006's New Onimusha. The setup remains the series' signature blend: a miasma-corrupted early-Edo Kyoto, legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, the soul-devouring Oni Gauntlet, and the Genma — interdimensional demons — pouring into the capital. Combat keeps the Issen, the frame-tight counter that defines the series, while dropping the legacy mini-games to focus entirely on swordplay feel.

Pricing and Momentum

On Steam China the standard edition lists at ¥298, deluxe at ¥338 and ultimate deluxe at ¥388; Hong Kong PlayStation pricing runs HK$518 / HK$598 / HK$668. The launch week was busy on every metric that matters: Japan's Famitsu chart put the game at No.1 with 96,029 combined first-week copies, and Steam concurrents topped 81,500 players.

The day-one milestone also pushed the Onimusha series past 10 million units sold worldwide cumulatively — a useful data point for anyone wondering whether Capcom's dormant catalog revivals still have an audience. They do.
