"Onimusha: Way of the Sword Trailer Shines at State of Play"

If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot undoubtedly goes to the new installment of the Onimusha series: *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*. This trailer introduced us to its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, whose character model is strikingly based on the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. In the trailer, Musashi is seen fiercely battling demons that have emerged from the depths of hell into the ancient city of Kyoto. There's a humorous twist as well, with Musashi occasionally attempting to escape from these fearsome creatures, adding a light-hearted touch to the intense action.

The narrative of *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* centers on Musashi's journey as he becomes the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet through his faith. Tasked with a daunting mission, Musashi must confront the monstrous entities that have invaded the world of the living. By defeating these demons and absorbing their souls, he can not only restore his health but also unlock powerful special abilities, adding depth and strategy to the gameplay.

In addition to the thrilling new installment, the State of Play also showcased a trailer for the remaster of *Onimusha 2*. The contrast between the two trailers is a testament to how far video game graphics have evolved over the years. The remaster brings back the nostalgia with enhanced visuals, while *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* sets a new standard with its stunning graphics and dynamic character design, truly showcasing Capcom's commitment to advancing the visual and storytelling aspects of their games.
