Onimusha: Way of the Sword Release Time (All Regions)
Alexandre Jollier
In brief
Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on Friday, September 4, 2026, at 6:00 AM in France, meaning it drops at the exact same moment worldwide. No edition offers early, standard, or premium early access, everyone starts at the same second on PS5, Xbox Series, and Steam.
In France, you'll need to get up early: Onimusha: Way of the Sword will open its doors on Friday, September 4, 2026 at 6:00 AM Paris time (CEST). This is calculated from the official time given by Capcom, a simultaneous worldwide launch set for September 3 at 9:00 PM PDT, which is midnight on the US East Coast.
Good news for those planning to take a day off: no edition benefits from early access. Standard, Deluxe, or Premium Deluxe, everyone unlocks the game at the exact same second, whether on PS5, Xbox Series or Steam. No VIP window for a few extra bucks here—the price difference only comes into play with cosmetics and pre-order bonuses.
No official information on the download size or a potential pre-load window has leaked out so far. Expect a classic Capcom day-one update running on RE Engine—better to make room on your hard drive and start the download as soon as the store allows, so you're ready right at 6:00 AM.
