   Onimusha: Way of the Sword Sales Top 1 Million on Launch Day

   Worldwide sales for Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword surpassed one million units on its first day of release, according to an announcement from the publisher. This opening performance accounts for ten percent of the franchise's total sales over its twenty-five-year history. The sales milestone also pushes cumulative sales for the entire Onimusha series past ten million units. The action game is currently available with a launch day discount at Fanatical, following positive reviews praising its combat despite a slow start.

   Why it matters

Strong initial sales demonstrate renewed commercial viability for the action-oriented intellectual property. Reviewers previously noted that the game starts off slow before delivering excellent action combat.
