Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the latest entry in the long-dormant samurai action series, has made an impressive debut. Marking the franchise’s first new title in twenty years, the game achieved a significant milestone, moving over one million copies on its very first day of release.

This strong launch has propelled the entire Onimusha franchise to a new cumulative sales total, now exceeding ten million units globally, according to publisher Capcom. The company has indicated a sustained interest in revitalizing its back catalog of intellectual properties, and the enthusiastic reception for Onimusha: Way of the Sword could further encourage the company to explore bringing more of its classic franchises back into the spotlight. This report is based on information initially shared by PCGamer.
