‘Onimusha: Way of the Sword’ Reactions and Capcom’s Career Year

Ben, Steve Ahlman, Matt James, and Lewis Gordon get together to ask: How does Capcom keep killing it? First, they run through some recent gaming news, including a lackluster Sony State of Play, a GTA-driven bump in console sales, Star Wars Zero Company maker Bit Reactor’s furloughed workforce, the backlash to Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI upscaling tech, and two dubious arguments in legal filings by the major console manufacturers. After that, they share their reviews of Onimusha: Way of the Sword and discuss Capcom’s incredible run leading up to and throughout 2026, with insights from Lewis’s reporting for The Ringer on the company’s comeback. Finally, they provide their impressions of two other recent releases, Orbitals and Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
