Capcom announces that Onimusha: Way of the Sword sells more than 1 million units on its first day, with sales tracked worldwide across all available platforms. Multiple outlets report the milestone as an early indicator of strong launch performance following the game’s release on September 4.
The coverage emphasizes the return of the Onimusha franchise after a long gap, described as the first new series entry in more than two decades. Nintendo Life and Financial Post also add that cumulative series sales now top 10 million units, citing the launch’s impact on the broader franchise. Other reports focus more directly on the day-one 1 million-copy figure, without extending into broader comparisons. Across outlets, the common thread is Capcom’s shared sales claim and the significance of a dormant IP getting a fast early start.
