The PS5 demo covers the opening story for roughly 30 minutes; progress resets at launch, while the save file unlocks the Kubi Akari Charm.
The free Onimusha: Way of the Sword PS5 demo contains about 30 minutes from the beginning of the story. Progress does not carry into the full game. Keep the demo save data, however, because it grants the Kubi Akari Charm in the full PS5 version.

|---|---|
| Demo platform | PS5 |
| Price | Free |
| Approximate content | About 30 minutes from the opening story |
| Story progress transfer | No |
| Save-data reward | Kubi Akari Charm |
Do not delete the saved data after finishing if you want the reward. Use the same PlayStation account and console storage context when launching the full game. The bonus is a reward for detected demo save data, not a transfer of position, inventory, or combat progress.
The demo proves only its own opening build. It should not be used to claim the entire game's length, final difficulty balance, later boss behavior, or launch performance.
