Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s Denuvo Has Been Cracked
by John Papadopoulos · DSOGamingIt’s been a while since voices38 last cracked a Denuvo game. Some people thought the cracker had stopped. This was because Irdeto was doing all it could to find and identify them. However, voices38 is back with a new crack for Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword came out on September 4, 2026. This means it took almost two months for the game to get cracked.
Needless to say, we won’t allow any links to the crack. So, don’t bother sharing any download links in the Comment section.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword runs extremely well on PC. It does not need a high-end PC, and it does not suffer from stutters. At the same time, its visuals do not push the limits of PC gaming. And although its visuals are not that great, you can use DLSS 5 to greatly enhance them. I’ve finished the game with DLSS 5, and I can tell you that it looks absolutely incredible with it.
The good news is that Capcom has removed Denuvo from a lot of its PC titles. In November 2025, they removed it from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village are also Denuvo-free as we speak. Similarly, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, and Resident Evil 4 Remake no longer use it. In July 2025, the Japanese team also removed it from Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. So, I’m certain that it will remove Denuvo from Onimusha: Way of the Sword sometime in 2027.
Another publisher that has removed Denuvo from its PC games is Square Enix. Square Enix has removed it from DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake. In December 2025, it also removed it from Just Cause 3. Not only that, but it has removed it from The Diofield Chronicle, VALKYRIE ELYSIUM, TRIANGLE STRATEGY, LIVE A LIVE, and Forspoken. Moreover, both Octopath Traveler and its sequel no longer use it. And that’s not all. In May 2024, SE removed it from Star Ocean The Second Story R. Finally, in March 2025, the publisher removed it from Final Fantasy 16.
Those are the two publishers that have removed Denuvo from a lot of their PC games. However, this does not mean that other publishers have not removed it from some of their games.
In March 2023, KRAFTON removed Denuvo from The Callisto Protocol. NEOWIZ has also removed it from its Souls-like game, Lies of P. In October 2024, Gearbox removed it from Homeworld 3, too.
Then we have Bandai Namco, which has removed it from CODE VEIN 2, Tekken 7, and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER. IO Interactive has removed Denuvo from 007 First Light. 2K Games has also removed it from Borderlands 4. Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Doom Eternal, and Doom: The Dark Ages no longer have it. And finally, Warner Bros. has removed it from Mortal Kombat 11, Gotham Knights, and Back 4 Blood.
