Millions of Swords

It’s no surprise that Onimusha: Way of the Sword was poised to make a major impact. Ever since its dramatic reveal, the return of a franchise that had been dormant for more than two decades has captured the attention of longtime fans and newcomers alike. Now, that excitement has translated into some seriously impressive sales numbers.

Within just 24 hours of release, Onimusha: Way of the Sword sold more than 1 million copies, giving the game an incredibly strong start right out of the gate. Following that announcement, Onimusha then went onto sell 10 million units worldwide. For a series that has been away from the spotlight for so long, the milestone is an impressive testament to the enduring popularity of Onimusha and the anticipation surrounding its return.

With players once again taking up their swords and stepping into the series’ supernatural world, Way of the Sword appears to have successfully brought the classic franchise back into the spotlight. If this launch momentum continues, Capcom could invest into another Onimusha game in the future.
