The complete Onimusha series timeline — every game, remaster, spin-off and the Netflix anime, in release order, building to Onimusha: Way of the Sword (2026). Each card's badge marks the in-game era it is set in: the four original main games form one Sengoku-era story (1560 → 1597), while the Netflix anime and Way of the Sword are separate Edo-era continuities, not sequels to Dawn of Dreams. Tap any title for the full story and gameplay details.
For the original story, play the main games in release order: Warlords, Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3, then Dawn of Dreams. If you only care about Way of the Sword, you can start with the 2026 reboot — it is built as a fresh continuity.
Warlords (2001) → Onimusha 2 (2002) → Onimusha 3 (2004) → Dawn of Dreams (2006). This follows both release order and the core Sengoku-era story.
Play Warlords Remastered and Onimusha 2 Remastered first, then use the Way of the Sword demo to learn the reboot's new parry, deflect and Issen loop.
Safe for newcomers. Way of the Sword is a standalone reboot, not a required sequel to Dawn of Dreams or the Netflix anime.
The way of the sword awaits.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword arrives September 25, 2026 — the series' boldest reinvention yet. Play the free demo now, then dive into our guides to master parry, deflect and the returning Issen before launch.
