Once more in July acclaimed Japanese developer Hideki Kamiya publicly begged Capcom to let him make a sequel to Okami, an outstanding 2006 Zelda-like he directed. Six months later, it seems the begging labored, on account of Okami 2 was merely launched on the 2024 The Recreation Awards.
It is a reasonably large deal: Kamiya—well-known for titles ranging from Resident Evil 2 by the use of to Bayonetta, however as well as for his amusingly prickly social media presence—left Platinum Video video games ultimate 12 months, so this shall be his first recreation away from that studio for 15 years.
It is usually an enormous deal on account of, for a really very long time, an Okami sequel appeared like a extremely far off pipe dream, with the ache exacerbated by the elliptical nature of the distinctive recreation’s ending.
For now everyone knows nothing else about Okami 2—we don’t even know whether it is known as Okami 2—and given Kamiya was solely begging to make it six months up to now, I’m not holding my breath that it’s going to come out any time rapidly.
