Onimusha: Way of the Sword has entered Capcom’s Platinum Titles list with 1.7 million units through September 30, 2026. Gematsu reported the list update on November 9. The total covers the opening weeks of the samurai action game’s September release, across the platforms grouped in Capcom’s reporting.

01

What the sales update covers

Capcom’s October 27 half-year results had already put Way of the Sword at 1.7 million, so the November list update gives that figure a place alongside the company’s other million-sellers. The September cutoff matters. Sales in October and November fall outside that snapshot, and the reported total gives no breakdown of how many units were sold on PC or on each console.

Gematsu’s account of the same list update puts the Resident Evil 4 remake at 17.1 million units and Monster Hunter Wilds at 12.2 million. Those are cumulative totals for games at different points in their release cycles. Way of the Sword’s figure gives readers an early look at how a long-dormant series has returned to Capcom’s catalog, while the other two figures show how older releases continue to build their totals.

What you can play

Way of the Sword follows Miyamoto Musashi through a supernatural take on early Edo-period Kyoto. The city is under threat from creatures called Genma, and Musashi’s Oni Gauntlet lets him absorb their souls for power. Sword fights and duels give the game its focus, with landmarks such as Kiyomizu-dera providing the backdrop.

Capcom lists the game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC. If you’re curious about the combat, the Steam store page has a demo download. It’s a way to try Musashi’s swordplay and see how the game runs on your setup before buying.
