Onimusha: Way of the Sword retail listing points to September 4, 21 days before the announced date

Onimusha: Way of the Sword may move from its announced September 25, 2026 release date to September 4. The r/pcgaming post links to a GamesRadar report citing a PNP Games retail listing with the earlier date, which would put Capcom’s samurai action game 21 days ahead of the previously announced schedule.

This is not yet the same as a final Capcom date change. For players, the practical detail is calendar pressure: a September 4 launch would avoid some of the late-September crowd and place the game earlier in a busy release window. In the Reddit thread, one commenter summarized the change as September 4 versus September 25, while others split between preferring the earlier slot and waiting because of concerns from the demo.

The reported platforms around the listing are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Anyone planning to preorder should still check Capcom’s official channels and regional store pages before treating the date as locked. The useful signal here is not a confirmed launch change, but a retailer-backed indication that Capcom may be trying to move Onimusha away from a crowded late-September week.
