The latest footage explores Mount Oe, a new location outside Kyoto, where a colossal Genma claiming to be the legendary Shuten Doji makes his stronghold. As protagonist Miyamoto Musashi carves his way through the Genma garrison, he wields his supernatural speed and strength to traverse the fortress’ defenses. In its closing moments, the trailer provides a glimpse of Musashi harnessing every ounce of his powers to transform and fully awaken as an Oni Warrior.
