Also, we really wanted you to enjoy a variety of Musashi\u2019s actions, so we intentionally equipped him with some late-game skills. Because of that, some players might have felt a lack of challenge.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">\u201cRest assured, in the final game, the bosses and the regular Genma will put up a tougher fight. Please look forward to the challenge in the full game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available to play now on PC and console.

There\u2019s precious little wiggle room in September, which has been <u>turned into an all-in brawl as publishers evacuate the final months of 2026<\/u> (and the gravitational pull of Grand Theft Auto 6).<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Onimusha: Way of the Sword was <u>first announced at The Game Awards 2024<\/u>.
