However, there does appear to be much more in Onimusha: Way of the Sword that was not playable. That was evidenced by what Capcom showed off at Gamescom Opening Night Live with a new trailer showing off different Genma types, like the frightening Dokyo. How players will put Onimusha's various systems to work to defeat these foes remains to be seen.

Capcom’s Onimusha series has been on a long hiatus. Combining Resident Evil-style rendered backgrounds with more agile characters, adding in demons, magic and a feudal Japan setting, the series span multiple sequels — and consoles — til the fourth entry in 2006.
