"Onimusha: Way of the Sword State of Play Trailer Shines"

If we had to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot undoubtedly goes to the new installment of the Onimusha series, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. This trailer introduced us to its protagonist, the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi, portrayed with the likeness of the iconic Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. The trailer showcases Musashi's fierce combat skills as he slashes through demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. What adds a unique flavor to the trailer is the humorous moments where Musashi attempts to evade these monstrous foes.

The storyline follows Musashi as he becomes the bearer of the Oni Gauntlet through his unwavering faith. Armed with this powerful artifact, he is tasked with battling the creatures that have crossed into the world of the living.
