Capcom Confirms Okami Sequel Nearly Two Decades After Original Release

The long-awaited sequel will continue Amaterasu's story, with updated visuals and gameplay powered by modern technology.

The Okami sequel was officially announced at Game Awards 2024, marking the return of the beloved 2006 cult classic after nearly 20 years.
The sequel is being developed by a team including Capcom, M-TWO, Machine Head Works, and CLOVERS, with original director Hideki Kamiya at the helm.
The game will pick up directly from the original's ending, continuing Amaterasu's journey, with a story concept that Kamiya has been refining for years.
The sequel will utilize Capcom's Resident Evil Engine to achieve a more realistic, hand-painted art style that builds on the original's visual legacy.
Developers are reimagining the original's unique control scheme to suit modern consoles, aiming to make the game accessible to players of all ages while retaining its core essence.
