Onimusha: Way of the Sword Tops 1 Million Sales on Day One
Onimusha: Way of the Sword sold more than 1 million copies worldwide on its first day, pushing lifetime sales for the full series past 10 million.
Capcom says Onimusha: Way of the Sword sold more than 1 million copies worldwide on its first day. The result also takes total sales for the Onimusha series beyond 10 million copies since its 2001 debut.
The publisher did not provide a sales breakdown by platform or region, so it is not yet clear how the different versions contributed to the launch total.
A long-dormant series returns
Released on September 4, 2026, Onimusha: Way of the Sword is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Capcom describes the game as swordplay action centered on Miyamoto Musashi in Edo-period Kyoto.
It is the first entirely new Onimusha game in more than 20 years. Capcom says several demos and hands-on presentations ahead of launch helped raise awareness of the title.
The series follows warriors who use the Oni's supernatural powers to battle monsters. Capcom has also made clear that it wants to revive existing IP that has gone without a new installment for a long time.
Capcom has not announced when Onimusha: Way of the Sword will receive its next sales update.
