Ōkami soon back! At the Game Awards 2024, Capcom announced a sequel to the cult video game released in 2006 featuring Amaterasu and her companions. The game was shown in a short teaser, very pretty in its AD, but without revealing any story or release date.
For this project, Hideki Kamiya, director of the original game, is back at the helm, accompanied by several studios, including M-TWO Inc, Machine Head Works Inc and CLOVERS Inc, reuniting part of the original team. As with the first opus, Capcom will be offering a poetic adventure in a universe inspired by traditional Japan. Details of the storyline and game mechanics are still limited, but this announcement has rekindled interest in the franchise.
The first Ōkami plunged players into an enchanted world where they incarnated Amaterasu, the sun goddess, to restore life and harmony using the Celestial Brush, a unique gameplay mechanic. The game, acclaimed for its aesthetics and story, remains a timeless classic, cherished by a community of loyal fans. The sequel in preparation intends to build on this legacy, while captivating a new generation of gamers. We can't wait!
