Capcom revealed what it’ll show off at its booth during Amusement Expo 2024. A demo version of Onimusha VR: Shadow Team will be available to play.

For reference, Amusement Expo will take place on November 15-16, 2024. You’ll be able to visit it at the Tokyo Big Sight, and Capcom’s booth will be located near East 6 Hall. Prices for the event range between 1,000 and 3,000 JPY, with earlier entry times being more expensive, since you won’t have to compete against as many people for demos and line-ups.

As mentioned earlier, the Onimusha VR: Shadow Team demo will be at the Capcom booth. Other events include demos of its online crane games, a stage event from its e-sports club, and stores to purchase goods. If you get peckish while at Amusement Expo 2024, the Capcom booth will offer baby castellas in the shape of its characters.

Onimusha VR: Shadow Team, the first VR entry in the Onimusha series, will appear for the first time at Amusement Expo 2024. As for Onimusha, it first appeared in 2001 and the most recent title is an HD remaster of said first game. It’s a fantastical retelling of Japanese history, and the games are usually action-adventure and hack-and-slash. The series sold over 8.7 million copies as of June 2024 and it’s the tenth best-selling franchise for Capcom.

A demo of Onimusha VR: Shadow Team will be available at the Capcom booth at Amusement Expo 2024, which will run from November 15 to 16, 2024.
