Summary
Akihito Kadowaki said Capcom was surprised by how crowded late September became, but is not worried the Sept. 25 launch of Onimusha: Way of the Sword will suffer.
September filled up after publishers shifted dates to avoid Grand Theft Auto 6's expected November release, leaving Onimusha launching alongside Dune: Awakening, Silent Hill Townfall and several other titles.
Kadowaki said Musashi, the combat system and Onimusha's Issen parry mechanic give the game a distinct sales pitch despite the competition.
Satoru Nihei said Capcom's recent run of hits adds pressure, but also motivates the team to extend the publisher's strong streak with another well-received release.
