Summary

  • Akihito Kadowaki said Switch 2 players "may not even be able to feel a difference" from PS5 in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, despite the Nintendo version's lower specs.
  • 30 FPS on Switch 2 versus 60 FPS or higher on other systems is the main technical gap, along with some picture-quality differences, but Capcom said both versions still deliver the action experience well.
  • Partway through development, Capcom only then began work on the Switch 2 port, yet playtesting convinced the team it could compete with other platforms.
  • September 4, 2026 is the new release date for the Switch 2 version, moved up from its initial September 25 launch, while developers also highlighted handheld play as a key advantage.
