Onimusha devs choose vampires over cosmic entities
When the intense competition of the gaming landscape looms large, developers often have to make some bold strategic moves. For the samurai action battler Onimusha: Way of the Sword, this maneuver has come into play as the team navigated the looming shadow of the September gamepocalypse.
While the initial plan was set for a release date of September 25th, the developers recognized that entering the market amid a particularly crowded period would present significant challenges. To ensure the game receives the attention it deserves and to maximize its impact, a change in timing was deemed necessary.
In a move designed to optimize the launch window and secure a stronger position for their ambitious title, Capcom has decided to bring Onimusha: Way of the Sword forward. The game is now slated for release on September 4th.
This adjustment allows the team to sidestep some of the intense competitive pressures, giving players a slightly more focused time to prepare for their epic journey through the world of samurai action and cosmic entities.
