Hideki Kamiya Announces Okami Sequel at Game Awards

At The Game Awards 2024, it was announced that a sequel to the beloved action-adventure game Okami is in development, with original director Hideki Kamiya at the helm. This new project will be created by CLOVERS, a studio formed to revive the Clover name, marking Kamiya's first game away from PlatinumGames since he left in 2023. While the teaser trailer hints at a return to the game's iconic paintbrush art style and features the wolf protagonist Amaterasu, specific details about the game, including its title and release date, have yet to be revealed. The announcement is notable given that an Okami sequel has long been considered a distant dream, especially since Kamiya had publicly expressed his desire to return to the franchise just six months prior. Despite the excitement, fans are left with little information, as the announcement was brief and largely a teaser. Nevertheless, the return of Kamiya and the revival of the Clover name has generated significant anticipation among fans of the original title.
