"Onimusha: Way of the Sword Trailer Shines at State of Play"

If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot undoubtedly goes to the new Onimusha installment, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*. This game introduces its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, in a thrilling and visually stunning manner. Capcom has masterfully crafted Musashi's character model using the likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, adding an authentic and iconic touch to the game.

In the trailer, we witness Musashi fiercely battling demons that have emerged from the depths of hell into the historic city of Kyoto. The intensity of the combat is occasionally punctuated by humorous moments where Musashi tries to escape from his demonic adversaries, adding a layer of light-heartedness to the otherwise dark narrative.

The storyline reveals that Musashi, through his unwavering faith, becomes the wielder of the powerful Oni Gauntlet. His mission is to combat the monstrous beings that now inhabit the world of the living, absorbing their souls to restore his health and unleash special abilities. This mechanic promises to offer a deep and engaging gameplay experience.

Additionally, the State of Play showcased a new trailer for the *Onimusha 2* remaster. The stark contrast between the two trailers serves as a testament to the significant advancements in graphics over the years. While the remaster of *Onimusha 2* brings back nostalgic memories with enhanced visuals, *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* pushes the boundaries of what fans can expect from the series in terms of both narrative and graphical fidelity.
