Sources, updates and coverage.

Current edition

Release status checked September 20, 2026 · September 4 launch · gameplay coverage incomplete. 17 guides and 11 connected reference entries. Research checked 2026-09-18; article edit dates are recorded separately.

What still needs work

• Release status, demo-save terms, selected abilities, characters, locations, Genma origin, Shuten Doji, equipment categories and selected cosmetic offers have current sources. Gameplay instructions and the remaining indexes are incomplete; Kingy has not tested them.
• Historical Onimusha vocabulary is context, not evidence of Way of the Sword mechanics.
• No complete weapon roster, armor system, trophy requirement, input, frame window or platform claim should be promoted without a current source or retail capture.

Next coverage

1. Complete retail mission routes and verify the reported late-game cutoff, including the exact transition prompt, save behavior and individual optional-content deadlines.
2. Keep September 4 release evidence distinct from store-specific bonus deadlines.
3. Verify platform and edition parity from official store pages.
4. Capture Parry and Deflect inputs, timing differences and results from a current retail build.
5. Populate verified Genma attacks, weaknesses and drops plus ability costs, weapon stats, Charm rules, armor, collectible and trophy records.
6. Add reviewed video embeds only after exact intervals and availability are checked.

How updates are reviewed

Sources are linked to the guides that depend on them in Kingy’s review pipeline. A source change requests an editorial review; it does not automatically rewrite the guide or advance its edit date. Review official changes daily around launch and after each patch. The repository maintenance record tracks recurring execution separately.
