Prerelease:Onimusha: Warlords (PlayStation 2)

This page details prerelease information and/or media for Onimusha: Warlords (PlayStation 2).

Onimusha: Warlords was first being developed as a PlayStation game. According to the wikipedia page of the game, the game was 50% complete before development moved to PlayStation 2, though no real source is given for that claim.

A playable build was shown to the public, allegedly only a small portion of the game was playable in that build.
