\"This<\/a><\/p>\n

Much has been made of the extremely busy<\/a> release schedule for the remainder of 2026, with September and October being particularly stacked.<\/p>\n

Among the games launching in late September is Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/a>, Capcom’s promising action title. It’s currently pencilled in for 25th September 2026, close to several other games.<\/p>\n

However, some are questioning whether that release timing may change, and rather than a delay, it might arrive sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

This stems from a Canadian retailer called PNP Games<\/a>, which listed Way of the Sword with a release date of 4th September 2026 \u2014 a full three weeks earlier than the current official date.<\/p>\n

Potentially adding more fuel to the fire is the fact the listings for the game have since been removed, the implication being that they were made public too soon.<\/p>\n

I’m not fully convinced, if I’m being honest \u2014 this could just as easily be a mistake, and the media coverage has alerted PNP to it, hence the removal of the pages.<\/p>\n

Having said that, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Way of the Sword exit the ultra-busy period in which it currently plans to launch.<\/p>\n

When you also consider Pragmata<\/a> was released earlier than planned<\/a>, it gives some credence to the idea Capcom might do the same for the return of Onimusha.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Is this game really launching three weeks sooner than we thought?
