Path of the Sword – PlayStation Blog

Sure thing! Here you go:

Just got back from Summer Game Fest 2025, and wow, Capcom hit us with a ton of stuff, like drinking from a firehose, you know? Anyway, some major things about three games popped up. Resident Evil’s back, Street Fighter 6 is getting some new faces, and there’s a fresh look into Onimusha: Way of the Sword. So much happening, my brain’s still spinning.

### Resident Evil Requiem is Here

Here’s a wild one: Resident Evil Requiem finally decided to show up. Ever heard of Grace Ashcroft? Nope, me neither, but she’s the newbie leading lady. Kinda weird, right? Apparently, she stumbles into some madness after grabbing a case to investigate. It sounds like the usual letting-the-zombies-loose kind of thing but with more bang-bang action. They’re shaking things up this time around. And oh, by the way, the game’s dropping next year, February 27th, 2026. Mark it, if that’s your thing.

### Street Fighter 6 Year 3 — Let That Sink In

Alright, so Street Fighter — if you’re into uppercuts and fireballs, this one’s for you. Four new (or not-so-new?) folks are joining the bash fest next year. Sagat’s back and looking to kick summer 2025 in the teeth. Then you have C. Viper showing up with gadgets and all that spy jazz in fall. Early bird Alex is flying in next spring, and Ingrid — who on earth is Ingrid? — completes the gang in late spring 2026. Oh, and there’s this Capcom Cup deal in Japan with a whopping $1,000,000 prize. Fancy, right?

And they just launched that Street Fighter Years 1-2 Fighters Edition. It’s basically everything from the first two years packed together. Kind of a catch-up kit.

### Swords, Souls, and Some Seriously Sketchy Foes

Onimusha: Way of the Sword, huh? A little more Edo and a lot more slicing this time around. Our guy Miyamoto Musashi — and hey, anyone else fascinated by that name? No idea why — is roaming a spooked-out Kyoto filled with Malice… like, the actual stuff called Malice. There’s this cool Issen move which, if I understood correctly, makes things go kaboom samurai-style.

There’s also this Sasaki Ganryu dude, seriously? It’s like they’re setting up some sword-swinging soap opera. Oh, and don’t miss the lady in the glowing hand gauntlet moment. Classic mystery at the trailer’s end, right?

But hey, if ancient blade fights are your jam, the Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny remaster just dropped. New features included. Hell mode sounds like it’s for the bravest only — one hit and you’re toast. And there’s even a pack with the first title. Nostalgia galore!

### Wrapping It Up

Wow, that was a lot, wasn’t it? Capcom’s not holding back. Whether you’re dodging zombies, trading punches, or embracing your inner samurai, the next couple of years look promising. Thanks for hanging in there! We’ll see where all this gaming madness takes us.
