If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the crown would undoubtedly go to the new Onimusha installment, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This trailer introduced us to its protagonist, the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, brought to life with the striking likeness of the iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. In the trailer, Musashi is shown fiercely battling demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. Yet, there's a humorous twist as he occasionally tries to escape from these relentless foes, adding a light-hearted touch to the intense action.

According to the game's storyline, Musashi, through his unwavering faith, becomes the wielder of the powerful Oni Gauntlet. This sacred artifact empowers him to confront the monstrous entities that have encroached upon the world of the living. By defeating these demons and absorbing their souls, Musashi can not only restore his health but also unleash a range of special abilities, enhancing his combat prowess and strategic options in battle.

The State of Play also showcased a new trailer for the Onimusha 2 remaster, providing a fascinating contrast to Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This comparison vividly illustrates the significant advancements in graphics technology over the years, highlighting how far the visual quality of video games has come.
