Parry: Well-timed blocks parrying incoming attacks can stagger foes, create openings for counterattacks, and even knock enemies back into their allies or terrain.
Blazing State: A temporary offensive power-up triggered by landing multiple parries that also generates Blue Souls, fuelling special attacks using Oni Power.
Soul Absorption: Choose the right moment in the heat of battle to absorb the souls of defeated foes to recover health, enhance equipment, unlock new abilities, and more.
Issen: Strike enemies a split-second before they land a blow to unleash this high-risk, high-reward counterattack that is an iconic element of the Onimusha series.
The game is coming sometime in 2026 and when it does, it will be on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
