If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot would undoubtedly go to the new installment in the Onimusha series: *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*. The trailer introduces us to its protagonist, the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, brought to life with the likeness of the iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. In the trailer, we witness Musashi's fierce battle against demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. While he expertly cuts them down, there are moments of humor as he tries to evade these monstrous foes.
The narrative follows Musashi's journey as he gains the power of the Oni Gauntlet through his unwavering faith. Armed with this mystical weapon, he embarks on a mission to combat the creatures that have crossed into the realm of the living. By absorbing their souls, Musashi can not only restore his health but also unlock powerful special abilities, adding depth to the gameplay and story.
In addition to the excitement around *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*, we were treated to a trailer for the *Onimusha 2* remaster. The side-by-side comparison of these trailers is a testament to the leaps and bounds in graphical advancements over the years, showcasing how far video game visuals have come.
