After taking somewhat of a break from the video games industry for a solid half decade or so, Konami has slowly but surely earned back many fans with the successful launches of various remasters, remakes and even some original games. Looking forward in the short-term, the publisher has now announced its presence at next month’s Gamescom while confirming its line-up – including a new trailer for the soon-to-be-released Silent Hill: Downfall.

In terms of games, the only other title being showcased is Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, with attendees being given https://www.konami.com/games/eu/en/topics/19215/the chance to have hands-on with the first new entry in this series in over a decade.

The game was featured in CAPCOM's Spotlight the following week, but CAPCOM did not announce any changes to the release date, so it seemed like an error on the retailer's part. However, earlier today, the Japanese developer confirmed it: Onimusha: Way of the Sword is now set to debut on September 4 across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series S|X, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.

We've previously highlighted the utter craziness of the September release schedule, and the craziest part of it all was the fact that Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Control Resonant, and Silent Hill: Townfall all released in the span of two days (September 24-25). However, it seems like CAPCOM might be about to move Onimusha out of the way, advancing its release date to September 4.

They're also in fairly similar genres, practically forcing players to choose which to purchase, with inevitable repercussions for their sales. The only silver lining is that Phantom Blade Zero […]

Developer Screen Burn, alongside Annapurna Interactive and Konami have once again showcased Silent Hill: Townfall during today's State of Play and finally revealed a release date for the upcoming horror game following its first gameplay reveal earlier this year during Konami's Silent Hill Transmission event. Making it just a couple of months ahead of GTA 6, Silent Hill: Townfall will arrive on September 24, 2026. Its inclusion in today's event would've been more of a surprise if not for the fact that an ESRB rating for the game appeared earlier this morning, hours before the showcase would kick off. That […]
