Okami Sequel Announced with Kamiya's Return

A sequel to the critically acclaimed 2006 game Okami was announced at The Game Awards 2024, with original director Hideki Kamiya at the helm, marking his return to Capcom after leaving PlatinumGames. This revelation took many by surprise, given Okami's status as a cult classic and its commercial failure, which contributed to the disbandment of Clover Studio. The new game, developed by Kamiya's new studio Clovers in collaboration with M-Two and Machine Head Works, will continue the tale of Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu. While the project is in its nascent stages, the announcement has generated significant excitement among fans and industry insiders. Capcom also used the event to announce other projects, demonstrating a focus on reviving beloved franchises.
