Onimusha: Way of the Sword launch times and release date

What’s that sound I’m hearing? Could it be the sound of five rings? Well, no, because that’s not the kind of rings Musashi wrote about. It’s the sound of a desperate bit of wordplay constructed to lead into a post about the launch times and release date for Onimusha: War of the Sword. Musashi’s the protagonist of that one. That’s the joke. I’m doing my best out here.

If our Wes Fenlon’s Onimusha review stirred your appetite for samurai action through its descriptions of the “sublime mix of classic Capcom action and weighty physical swordfighting,” you’re likely eager to know precisely when you can don the demon gauntlet for yourself. I’ve gathered the Onimusha unlock times below—and you won’t have to endure any more wordplay to get there. I promise. Maybe.

When is the Onimusha: Way of the Sword unlock time?

Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on PC at 12 am EDT / 5 am BST on Friday, September 4. Unlike consoles where it’s launching at midnight in each respective timezone, it’s a simultaneous global release on PC—which means, if you’re east of a UTC -4 timezone, you’ll be playing a few hours later than you would otherwise.
