Onimusha: Way of the Sword has reached over 2 million wishlists across all platforms

Onimusha: Way of the Sword has surpassed 2 million wishlists across all platforms ahead of its September 4, 2026 release.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword checked off a pretty significant milestone today, as Capcom announced that the action-adventure game now has over 2 million wishlists on all platforms.

This announcement comes right around the corner from the game’s release window. Having garnered enough wishlists will no doubt help bolster interest as fans are hungry for Capcom’s next-gen return to Onimusha. 

But again, wishlists don’t always mean sales, so only time will tell if Way of the Sword is a commercial hit or not.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Hits 2 Million Wishlist Mark

Capcom has revealed that Onimusha: Way of the Sword now has over 2 million wishlists across all platforms the game is being supported on.

While wishlists can certainly act as a solid indicator for interest before release, they don’t always spell immediate sales. We’ll have to wait until after the game releases to get concrete numbers on just how well it performs commercially.

Still, it’s another good sign for Capcom as we get closer to Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s release date.

Releases: September 4, 2026 

Platforms: 

  • PlayStation 5 
  • Xbox Series X|S 
  • Nintendo Switch 2 
  • PC 

Offering players a single-player action-adventure experience, Way of the Sword is a proper sequel to Capcom’s famed Onimusha franchise.

After hitting over 2 million wishlists, it’ll be interesting to see if Way of Sword can convert some of that interest into sales when it releases this September.
