Capcom announced that the action-adventure game Onimusha: Way of the Sword is now coming earlier, with September 4th marked for release.
There’s a demo up on Steam now too which will be updated “in the future”. Players who bring a demo save over to the full game will also get a “bonus to use in the full game”.
Additionally, Valve ran it through their usual checks and slapped it with a Steam Deck Playable / SteamOS Compatible sticker. Valve notes that for the Steam Deck some of the text is a bit too small and that it also requires an internet connection for the first-time setup (it has Denuvo DRM).

More about it:
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the latest installment in Capcom’s classic Onimusha series. The first entry in 20 years, the all-new action game returns to a dark fantasy Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural. The story fuses history and myth, following the journey of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai armed with a mystical Oni Gauntlet, as he battles demons invading Edo-period Kyoto. Onimusha: Way of the Sword features intense action that combines the series’ signature Issen and Soul Absorption mechanics with exhilarating swordplay that takes combat to new heights.
