Onimusha: Way of the Sword Price & Editions
Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched at $70 USD in North America, and is sold in three editions — Standard, Deluxe and Premium Deluxe. Launch-day storefront coverage broke down the full edition lineup, UK prices and pre-order bonuses. One reviewer who purchased the game themselves confirmed the base price and said they got their money's worth out of it.
How much does it cost?
The base game launched at $70 USD on Steam and the major console storefronts. This is the standard premium price for a big-budget single-player title in 2026.
The $70 figure comes from a reviewer who bought the game rather than receiving a review key, which makes it a reliable street-price data point. Exact pricing for every region has not been catalogued here.
The three editions
The game is sold in three tiers. The Standard edition is the base game, the Deluxe edition adds a cosmetic kit on top, and the Premium Deluxe edition adds everything in Deluxe plus ally outfits and a mini soundtrack.
UK launch pricing, from launch-day storefront coverage: Standard was £64.99 digital (£69.99 physical RRP), Deluxe was £74.99 digital-only, and Premium Deluxe was £84.99 digital. In North America the base game is $70 USD. Prices are approximate and vary by storefront and region.
Pre-order bonus (every edition)
Every edition came with the same pre-order bonus: a lion-dog charm that strengthens Musashi's abilities, and a seal-curse sword appearance that is purely cosmetic. Neither changes combat performance.
Carrying over demo save data also unlocked an extra charm in the full game, so playing the free demo before buying earned a small head start regardless of edition.
Deluxe edition contents
The Deluxe edition is digital-only and adds the Deluxe Kit on top of the base game: three extra charms (Oni Lady, Little Dancer and Mentor), four sword appearances (including Raizen and Enryu), a red armor outfit for Musashi, and the crimson lotus gauntlet skin.
The Deluxe pre-order also added two more items — the white monkey charm and the white lion sword appearance — for four bonus items total instead of two. The extra charms carry gameplay value, but the sword appearances and outfits are purely visual.
Premium Deluxe edition contents
The Premium Deluxe edition includes everything in the Deluxe Kit plus the Premium Kit: outfits for Izumo no Okuni (flower dance, goldfish dance and Oni dance), outfits for the Oni Lady, three Haori coats for Musashi (hellfire, moonlight and cloud biter), and an in-game mini digital soundtrack.
It carried the same four pre-order bonuses as the Deluxe edition. Physical copies were found slightly cheaper than digital at launch, so shopping around mattered for the top tier.
Which edition should you buy?
If you only want the base game, the Standard physical edition is the cheapest route — launch-day physical copies were found below the digital RRP at some retailers. The Deluxe edition is only worth the extra if cosmetics and extra charms genuinely matter to you.
The Premium Deluxe edition is aimed at day-one fans who want the complete cosmetic collection and the soundtrack. None of the extra tiers change the core gameplay in a meaningful way, so do not overpay for cosmetics you will forget after the first hour.
Regional pricing
Regional pricing varies by storefront and country, and the collected data does not include a full price table for every region. The $70 USD figure is the North American reference point.
If you are shopping in another region, check the Steam, PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store or Nintendo eShop listing directly for the exact local price. Prices can also differ between PC and console.
Is it worth the price?
Reviews were broadly positive, with Metacritic recording generally favorable scores across PC, PS5 and Xbox, and universal acclaim for the Switch 2 version. The game sold over one million copies on launch day.
The impulsegamer review called it one of the best action games of recent years and said it was worth the asking price. A second 100% reviewer independently said they definitely got their $70 out of it.
Sales and discounts
As a newly released title, the game is unlikely to be discounted heavily in its first weeks. Historical Onimusha remasters have gone on sale on Steam, so the price will likely drop over time.
For the best deal, watch the official storefronts during seasonal sales. There are no redeemable gift codes for this buy-to-play title, so do not fall for sites claiming to offer a free copy.
