What is confirmed
PlayStation Blog says Onimusha: Way of the Sword begins with Miyamoto Musashi trying to free himself from the Oni Gauntlet. The mystical artifact is bound to him through an unexplained twist of fate. According to the blog, the young samurai does not want its power and instead wants to prove himself through his own ability.
Why it matters
That setup puts tension between Musashi and an unwanted source of power. It suggests the gauntlet is central to the character’s early motivation rather than simply a tool he readily accepts.
What remains unconfirmed
The supplied update does not confirm how Musashi can remove the gauntlet, what its powers do, who is responsible for it becoming bound to him, or how this conflict shapes gameplay. It also does not provide timing, additional platforms, or developer details.
What comes next
A future official update resolving those questions would need to detail the gauntlet’s mechanics, Musashi’s path to freedom, and the game’s release plans. The official video is available as an outbound source link.
