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 the game's protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, who is brought to life using the likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. In the trailer, Musashi valiantly slashes through demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. However, the trailer also captures lighter moments where Musashi humorously attempts to evade these fearsome creatures.
The storyline reveals that Musashi, driven by his faith, becomes the bearer of the Oni Gauntlet. His mission is to combat the monsters that roam the world of the living, absorbing their souls to not only restore his health but also to unlock powerful special abilities.
In addition to the excitement surrounding Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the State of Play also showcased a new trailer for the remaster of Onimusha 2. The side-by-side comparison of these trailers vividly illustrates the leaps and bounds in graphical advancements over the years, highlighting the stunning evolution in video game visuals.
