Both Pragmata and Resident Evil: Requiem were successful, both financially and critically. However, their third major release of the year might have a tough time competing.

Grand Theft Auto VI is set to release on November 19, and most major publishers are trying to release their games before Rockstar Games’ highly anticipated, record-breaking title. Consequently, September is shaping up to be the most crowded month in recent years. However, some games may still struggle, including Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first new entry in the series in a long time.

Over the weekend, the Twitter user @intercelluar—who has proven his credibility by leaking footage of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced and recently revealing the as-yet-unconfirmed but widely reported Rayman Legends Retold—announced that Onimusha: Way of the Sword is expected to be released on September 25. However, this information may already be outdated.

Typo I meant 25 of september 2026

While the game may not be released on September 25, the likelihood of a September release remains high. NateTheHate wrote on the ResetEra forum that he was only given a target release date in September but never a specific date. He has been hearing about a September release for quite some time. He thinks late September seems like a logical release date. He doesn’t know if the exact day is correct, but September aligns with the expected release window.

If Onimusha: Way of the Sword does indeed launch in September, it can expect stiff competition during its release window. The month will be packed with games targeting a similar audience: Phantom Blade Zero is set to release on September 9 and Marvel’s Wolverine on the 15th. Additionally, Gears of War: E-Day is reportedly planning a September release, as previously reported.

The only question remaining is how this old franchise will hold its own in the modern era.
