Last month, Capcom revealed it would be bringing the action-adventure title Onimusha: Way of the Sword to the Switch 2 this September.

In an update today, it's been announced the launch date will now be slightly earlier. Instead of the 25th, it's now arriving on all platforms (including the Switch 2) on 4th September 2026.

As a result of this, pre-orders for the Switch 2 digital version have been "automatically cancelled". It means you'll need to place a new pre-order if you did purchase the game digitally on Nintendo's new system.

Here's a little more about what to expect from Onimusha: Way of The Sword and you can check out the trailer above.
