Capcom has announced a new release date for Onimusha: Way of the Sword: instead of September 25, the PS2-era reboot will now release on September 4. It's the second time Capcom has pulled this move in 2026, because Pragmata also got moved forward at the eleventh hour.

But unlike Pragmata's April release window, September is pretty damn busy. Previously Onimusha was butting heads with Silent Hill: Townfall and Control Resonant, both of which are scheduled for September 24. Now its only meaningful competition is The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut action RPG from Rebel Wolves, a Polish studio helmed by former CD Projekt devs. It's definitely wiser for Onimusha to go up against a new series rather than two beloved ones, though Rebel Wolves might see things differently.

And look: I thought this Onimusha reboot would be a pretty niche concern, but my PC Gamer colleagues are pretty impressed by what they've seen. Morgan Park thought it was the best thing he saw at the 2025 Summer Game Fest, so much so that he went back for more this year. The recent demo was received well by the public.

That said, a certain kind of RPG enthusiast won't let a Capcom parry-fest get in the way of Blood of Dawnwalker, which lets you kill any NPC you like . If that's not incentive enough to stick with the vampire RPG, I don't know what else to say.

September is busy , October is busy, but November? No one's going up against GTA 6, except Devolver and this delightfully '90s looking base-builder .
