The most impressive trailer from the recent State of Play showcase was undoubtedly the new Onimusha title. Onimusha: Way of the Sword unveils its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose likeness is strikingly modeled after the iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune.
The trailer depicts Musashi's valiant battles against demons invading Kyoto, with moments of humorous evasion interspersed with intense combat. The narrative reveals Musashi's transformation into an Oni Gauntlet wielder through faith, empowering him to combat these creatures and absorb their souls to replenish his health and unlock special abilities.
A remastered trailer for Onimusha 2 was also shown, offering a stark visual comparison that underscores the remarkable advancements in gaming graphics over the years.
