Okami Sequel Unveiled at 2024 Game Awards
The gaming world was taken by surprise at the Game Awards 2024 with an announcement that left fans buzzing with excitement. A grand orchestra and a man with a large drum took the stage to reveal a new game from Hideki Kamiya's studio. The big news? It's a true sequel to the beloved game Okami. Tentatively titled Okami 2, or Okami Sequel, this announcement has gamers eagerly anticipating what's next for the franchise.
A Musical Tease
The reveal was accompanied by a stunning musical performance. An orchestra and drummer set the stage as images of the goddess Amaterasu running across a field were displayed. Though details are scarce, the visual and auditory spectacle left fans hopeful for the sequel's arrival.
Capcom's Quiet Preparations
Capcom has been subtly setting the stage for a new Okami. Earlier this year, they surveyed fans about their interest in sequels for several franchises, including Okami, Dead Rising, Mega Man, and more. This was a clear indication that the studio was gauging interest in revisiting these classics.
Hideki Kamiya's Ambitions
Hideki Kamiya himself has expressed a strong desire to work on Okami 2. He even asked Capcom for the opportunity to develop both Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3. Kamiya has been vocal about his dissatisfaction with the original Okami team's performance, but this new announcement suggests he has now assembled a team that meets his standards.
Despite Kamiya's criticisms, the original Okami remains a cherished game for many players. Its unique art style and engaging gameplay have earned it a special place in gaming history.
