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 Onimusha titled "Onimusha: Way of the Sword." This game introduces its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, portrayed with the iconic likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. The trailer showcases Musashi's fierce battle against demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell, adding a humorous twist as he occasionally tries to evade these monstrous foes.
According to the storyline, Musashi's faith leads him to become the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet. This powerful artifact enables him to combat the otherworldly monsters that now roam the world of the living. By absorbing the souls of these defeated creatures, Musashi can not only restore his health but also unleash a variety of special abilities, enhancing his combat prowess.
Additionally, the State of Play event featured a new trailer for the Onimusha 2 remaster. The side-by-side comparison of these two trailers vividly illustrates the leaps and bounds made in graphical technology over the years, showcasing the evolution of visual storytelling in gaming.
