Katana you believe it

Here’s one I didn’t see coming: a new Onimusha game.

Maybe 2006, if you rule out the Unity surfing app sim?

That was true of the first one, anyway.

Later instalments took… interesting liberties.

Onimusha 3 had Jean Reno in it for some reason.

One thing they all share is more of a combat focus than the Resis.

You don’t need to find ammo for a katana, after all.

But they certainly aren’t hack-and-slash games.

There are scenes of swordplay, including a few vicious finishers and some dramatic parrying.

If it’s cleaving close to formula, there should be RPG elements as well.

It’s out in 2026.

Any old Onimusha players in the haus?

I think I fell off the series around about the time Jean Reno showed up.

The Geoffening has begun!
