GoKawiilLooking ahead: Capcom has updated the product page for Onimusha: Way of the Sword with a full breakdown of graphics modes, output resolutions, and target frame rates across PS5, Xbox Series, and PC – along with detailed system requirements covering 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at Low through Ultra settings.
Way of the Sword is the first new mainline entry in the series since Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams in 2006 – a gap of nearly two decades. That said, the series hasn't been entirely dormant: it produced several spin-offs and side projects, including remasters, the VR title Onimusha VR: Shadow Team, and the browser-based multiplayer game Onimusha Soul.
Casual PC players running older mid-range hardware will be able to get the game running at 1080p/30fps, though the minimum CPU (Intel Core i5-8400) is now eight years old. Those targeting 4K/60fps on Ultra with upscaling will need something more modern on both the CPU and GPU front.
Minimum requirements (for 1080p / 30fps, Low settings)
Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 3 3100
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: GeForce GTX 1660 Super (6GB) or Radeon RX 5500 XT (8GB)
