Onimusha: Way of the Sword Editions — Which One to Buy

No. The most elaborate versions are the SteelBook Edition (Americas, $74.99), the PS5-only Lenticular Edition in Europe, and a Premium Deluxe SteelBook in EMEA. No statue edition exists.

The Lion Dog charm plus the Sealed Curse sword skin on every edition; Deluxe and Premium Deluxe add the White Monkey charm and White Lion sword skin. Because the release moved forward, these became a time-limited “early purchase” bonus rather than strictly pre-order.

Two things have to happen, and neither is obvious. Players on the Steam forum who have the items give the same two-step answer: the early-purchase set unlocks only once you reach a certain point in the story, and you then have to open Additional Content from the menu and press Claim — it says nothing is found at first, then leads to a download list. Skip the claim and the charms never appear. This is player-sourced (two independent accounts, September 15–16), not Capcom wording. One player 15 hours in reports the four Early Adopter items still absent after doing exactly that, with no answer yet — so if the claim step does not work for you, you are not alone, and there is no known fix.

Not with a new digital purchase. The window closed September 24, 11:59 PM local time on PS5, Xbox, Windows and Switch 2, and September 25, 4:59 PM PDT on Steam and Epic; by September 28 Steam had removed the Early Adopter section from its store page. The listing had said the items may become available at a later date, but Capcom has announced no date or price. Physical copies that include the printed code can still be redeemed until September 25, 2031.

No — it is not included in Game Pass on console or PC. The Xbox listing shows “cloud playable” with Game Pass Essential, Premium and Ultimate, but that streams a copy you still have to buy — the listing itself says game purchase required. What the listing does carry is the Xbox Play Anywhere badge: buy it digitally once and play on both Xbox and Windows.

Not on GOG: only a GOG “Dreamlist” wishlist page exists, which is the store’s way of saying it does not stock the game. On PC it is sold on Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Xbox PC store (where Play Anywhere applies). Every PC version ships with Denuvo.

The sword, outfit and gauntlet skins are purely cosmetic by Capcom’s own description. Charms are the exception — they are equippable items that strengthen Musashi, though exact numbers are unannounced.

Yes, and it is all small. Steam lists about thirty DLC entries for the game: the edition cosmetics (charms, sword appearances, haori, outfits for Musashi, Okuni and the Oni Lady, a gauntlet skin) as separate store items — a single haori shows a $19.99 price on the Steam store as of September 20, the store’s own number — plus a mini soundtrack and a set of “Materials Pack” items that hand you in-game resources. One of those, Materials Pack: Red Souls I, is free on the Steam store (RPG Site puts it at 2,500 red souls). Two more Red Souls packs, II and III, exist in Steam’s app records but had no public store page as of September 20; the third appeared in the records between September 18 and 20 with no announcement, so treat it as a listing, not news. Nothing in the packs is required — red souls and materials drop in normal play.
