Onimusha: Way of the Sword has received a new trailer titled Cutting Destinies, highlighting one of the references featured in the next game in the series: locations inspired by real sites in Kyoto.

Among them is Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, one of the landmarks used as a basis for the settings in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The choice places the Japanese city at the heart of the game's visual identity, with recognizable landmarks transformed to fit the series' setting.

Yasui Konpiragu Shrine is cited as one of the direct inspirations for the game's locations. The Cutting Destinies trailer follows that approach by showcasing the franchise's new installment, which will use several Kyoto landmarks as a foundation.

The presence of real-world locations does not necessarily mean they will be reproduced literally. The information released points to an approach to environment design tied to the city, while Onimusha: Way of the Sword adapts those references for its own universe. For those familiar with Kyoto, identifying these elements could become part of the experience; for those who are not, they help give the featured environments a tangible point of origin.

Yasui Konpiragu Shrine joins other real Kyoto landmarks that will inspire the locations in Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
