For those who cherished the experience of unlocking achievements in Okami HD, there’s some thrilling news: a sequel to Okami is officially in the pipeline! Take a peek at the (albeit very short) teaser trailer.
During The Game Awards, the announcement of an Okami sequel was made. Capcom confirmed, “We have set the wheels in motion for a new Okami project. The original Okami is celebrated for its distinctive world, touching narrative, and exhilarating story arcs. Now, we’re crafting a new journey that captures the spirit of the original.”
Speculation about a sequel had been floating around for years. We first caught wind of the possibility when Ikumi Nakamura mentioned her plans to propose a follow-up to Capcom. Back then, she emphasized that one condition for moving forward would be to have Hideki Kamiya direct the sequel once more.
The development team has told fans, “It might be a while before we have more updates, but we’re just as thrilled about this project as you are.”
We only have a brief glimpse from the teaser trailer, a confirmation that Hideki Kamiya will be taking the helm again, and the exciting news that production is about to begin. While details are still under wraps, closing The Game Awards with this announcement certainly built up a lot of anticipation. What are your thoughts on this exciting reveal?
