Capcom has released a new trailer and screenshots for Onimusha: Way of the Sword introducing the Genma experiments.

Here are the latest details, via Capcom:

A flashy new trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword debuted in today’s showcase, delving into an eerie new locale within its dark fantasy world. The latest footage also revealed monstrous enemies and unsheathed a slice of the combat mechanics at the core of the swordplay action.
Deep beneath the game’s setting of Kyoto is a secret laboratory where a sinister and enigmatic entity known as Dokyo toils away creating new Genma. Her twisted creations include:
Greater Nue – A ferocious, Chimeric beast that can harness the power of lightning.
Kogashira – Humans warped by parasitic Genma that create poisonous clouds of Malice.
Chijiko – A grotesque mass of interwoven human faces with far-reaching tentacles.
To carve a path through these abominations, protagonist Musashi Miyamoto wields his own powers, including the iconic Issen and Soul Absorption abilities at the core of the Onimusha experience:

Deflect – A defensive action that reflects attacks back at enemies – including projectiles.
Parry – Well-timed blocks parrying incoming attacks can stagger foes, create openings for counterattacks, and even knock enemies back into their allies or terrain.
Blazing State – A temporary offensive power-up triggered by landing multiple parries that also generates Blue Souls fueling special attacks using Oni Power.
Soul Absorption – Choose the right moment in the heat of battle to absorb the souls of defeated foes to recover health, enhance equipment, unlock new abilities, and more.
Issen – Strike enemies a split-second before they land a blow to unleash this high-risk, high-reward counterattack that is an iconic element of the Onimusha series.
