If you're a video game publisher with a game arriving in the second half of 2026, you're tossing it into a veritable bloodbath. Nearly every publisher (other than perhaps Nintendo) has been doing everything in its power to keep out of the way of GTA 6. One of the many games due to be released in the comically over-crowded September-October window (GTA 6 arrives November 19) is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which was supposed to launch on September 25. We're now getting it a bit earlier, with Capcom announcing a new release date of September 4.
