Capcom has delayed the release of Onimusha: Way of the Sword to avoid clashing with the pre-launch hype surrounding GTA 6. The action game, initially positioned to compete in the same release window, will now “escape the pre-GTA 6 rush,” according to the developer. This shift aims to reduce overlap with other titles vying for attention ahead of Rockstar’s anticipated November 19, 2026, launch. The move follows industry trends of staggering major releases to minimize market saturation.
For GTA 6 players, the delay ensures fewer competing games will dilute the massive spotlight expected to surround Rockstar’s next installment, potentially offering a smoother lead-up to its highly anticipated debut.
