Onimusha 3 for PlayStation 2 is due for release in Japan on February 26, Capcom announced today. The third and final game in the epic samurai action-fantasy series, now starring Gallic action hero Jean Reno alongside Japanese star Takeshi Kaneshiro, is thus appearing a little ahead of its previously-announced March 2004 release window.
It's still not clear exactly when the game will arrive in the United States, but the series' American releases have historically not lagged too far behind their Japanese counterparts. We'll have more news as it arises.
