Asus will at Gamescom 2026 unveil a limited-edition Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card styled around Capcom’s upcoming action-adventure, Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The special edition takes its look in blue and gold, tying the hardware’s custom cooler and backplate to the game’s dark samurai fantasy while keeping the RX 9070 XT TUF Gaming design largely intact.

Gamescom 2026 special tied to a September release

Asus says the timing is linked to the early-September launch of Capcom’s new title. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled for September 4, and Asus is using Gamescom 2026 to showcase a card painted specifically for the game’s release window.

  • The special edition is built around AMD’s top-tier model: Radeon RX 9070 XT, not an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090.
  • Asus positions the card as a collaboration designed around the game’s theme and visuals.
  • Asus notes that the cooler and backplate were created together with Capcom.

What’s different: blue-gold TUF cooler and game-inspired details

The standout visual theme is a blue-and-gold (Dhahab) look, using a custom shroud and decorated rear plate. Asus describes these elements as inspired by the game’s setting and details drawn from the Oni Gauntlet.

  • Custom shroud and backplate: designed with Capcom to reflect the game’s samurai fantasy.
  • Asus indicates the underlying cooling approach is familiar, stating it effectively matches the Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF Gaming.
  • Weight and size (as tested/measured by the publication): about 1.5 kg and roughly 3.2 slots thick.
  • Cooling hardware: three axial fans.

Performance expectations: clocks, power, and noise

Asus lists the same operating parameters as the standard TUF variant for this themed model.

  • Boost clock: 3,080 MHz (Asus specification for the Onimusha-themed card).
  • Game clock: 2,540 MHz (Asus specification).
  • Power draw and connectors: up to 330 W, using three standard 8-pin PCIe power connectors.
  • Noise under load: measured at around 30 dB(A), reported as low for the card’s class.

Limited run details still missing

Asus says the Onimusha-themed RX 9070 XT TUF will be limited in quantity, but it has not yet provided the production figure or confirmed availability and pricing for the special edition.

  • Asus has not announced the limited-run quantity.
  • Pricing and availability for the special edition are not confirmed.
  • For reference, the regular Radeon RX 9070 XT TUF Gaming is currently listed starting around 819 euros, which may serve as a baseline for the special model.

Themed RX 9070 XT cards join a recent trend

This isn’t the first time board partners have released game-themed versions of high-end Radeon cards. Earlier designs tied the same general idea to other major releases.

  • ASRock and Sapphire previously showcased Radeon RX 9070 XT editions inspired by Monster Hunter Wilds and Crimson Desert.
  • Those announcements were made in fall 2025 and early in the following year, respectively.
