The most captivating trailer from the recent State of Play showcase undoubtedly belongs to the new Onimusha title. Onimusha: Way of the Sword unveils its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose striking resemblance to legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune is achieved through masterful character modeling by Capcom. The trailer depicts Musashi's valiant—and occasionally humorous—battles against demons that have invaded Kyoto from the infernal depths.
The narrative reveals Musashi's transformation into an Oni Gauntlet wielder through his unwavering faith. His quest involves confronting these monstrous beings, absorbing their souls to replenish his health and unlock extraordinary powers.
Furthermore, a remastered trailer for Onimusha 2 was also presented, offering a stark visual comparison that underscores the remarkable advancements in gaming graphics over the years.
