Onimusha: Way of the Sword is releasing 21 days earlier than expected, possibly cramping The Blood of Dawnwalker's style

A character from Onimusha is depicted next to a character from Blood of Dawnwalker.

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.
