Onimusha: Way Of The Sword – Meet Rasho-gan, the Multi-Armed Demon Boss

Capcom has revealed a new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, titled "Severing Fates." The trailer offers a closer look at the Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, a sacred site in Kyoto known for its association with breakthroughs and new beginnings. Capcom's reimagining of this location presents a darker version, now under the control of Rashogan. Rashogan is a multi-armed Genma who exploits the desires of sanctuary visitors, literally tearing off body parts. He is one of the game's bosses, and players, as Musashi, will need to contend with his numerous, long-reaching limbs. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is set for release on September 4, 2026, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. In the game's narrative, chaos demons led by Yoshitsune have overrun Hell, overwhelming the native Oni. The surviving Oni were sealed within gauntlets given to humans, forcing their wearers to fight corrupted forces and absorb soul energy to power the weapons. The protagonist, Musashi Miyamoto, a historical master swordsman, receives one of these gauntlets. The game portrays Musashi with a subversive twist, using the likeness of the late Toshiro Mifune and depicting him as somewhat cheeky, rather than solely a serious warrior.

Corrupted Kyoto Quests Lead to Shared Rashogan Boss Fight in Onimusha Way of The Sword Demo

Kyoto, where the game is set, is corrupted by malice, with otherworldly matter encrusting buildings. As players restore parts of the city, the playable area expands, allowing citizens to offer side quests. Early gameplay features a quest to locate three missing stone statues, which leads to an encounter with Rashogan. In one side quest, a musician has her fingers severed due to intense practice, and strangely, she is overjoyed by this outcome. Musashi's desire to remove the gauntlet makes him a target for Rashogan, who seeks to claim that specific limb. The boss battle against Rashogan occurs in a room populated by other players simultaneously fighting him. This collective effort culminates in moments of shared victory, requiring countergrabs and well-timed dodges of Rashogan's blue-glowing throw attack. A playable demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently available.
