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

If we were to pick the most striking and memorable trailer from the recent State of Play, the top spot would undoubtedly go to the new installment of the Onimusha series: *Onimusha: Way of the Sword*. This trailer introduced us to its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, who is brought to life using the likeness of the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune. The trailer showcases Musashi's intense battles against demons that have invaded Kyoto from the depths of hell. While he fiercely cuts them down, there are humorous moments where he tries to escape from these fearsome creatures, adding a unique charm to the trailer.

The storyline reveals that Musashi, through his unwavering faith, becomes the wielder of the Oni Gauntlet. His mission is to battle the monstrous beings that have invaded the world of the living, absorbing their souls to restore his health and unleash powerful special abilities. This adds a strategic layer to the gameplay, making each encounter with the demons not just a fight for survival but also a means to enhance Musashi's abilities.

Additionally, the event featured a trailer for the remaster of *Onimusha 2*. The comparison between the two trailers vividly demonstrates the leaps in graphical technology over the years. The enhanced visuals of *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* not only bring Musashi's world to life with stunning detail but also highlight the evolution of video game graphics, providing fans with a visually richer experience.
