After the surprise announcement of the Okami sequel at The Game Awards 2024, Hideki Kamiya released a message for fans via the official social media account for the game. Kamiya is set to return to directorial duties on the Capcom title as part of his new Clovers studio’s first project.
While not containing any new information on the game itself, the message opened with Kamiya remarking that he honestly didn’t think he’d get to continue the story of Okami himself. He went on to thank the development team at Clovers, in addition to all of the fans who have continued to support the series long after its release. He finished by invoking Amaterasu’s rising sun motif and stated that he and the team are ready to do their best while working on the Okami sequel.
You can find the full statement via the tweet below:
The sequel was a surprise announcement at The Game Awards 2024 presentation, 18 years after the first game’s original release on Playstation 2. Protagonist Amaterasu also appeared earlier this year as a Mazo Talisman in an update to Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: path of the Goddess.
The Okami Sequel is currently in development at Clovers Studio under Director Hideki Kamiya, though the release date and target platforms are currently still unknown.
