Overview
- Sony’s State of Play presentation on June 2 showed Kemuri’s first extended gameplay and announced a 2027 release window for PlayStation 5 and PC.
- UNSEEN explained core systems including the FOXWINDOW detection ability, forming contracts with yokai, and wearing yokai powers as 'Possession Apparel' that change combat and movement.
- Players choose from three hunting styles—katana-focused hunter, bow user, or shaman—and can play solo or in online co-op with up to two other players.
- The game adopts a manga-inspired, hand-drawn visual style and leans heavily on fashion and streetwear as part of character design and yokai-possession effects in Kemuri City.
- Ikumi Nakamura’s new studio UNSEEN confirmed the project remains in active development with no firm release date yet and left structural details like open-world versus mission design unresolved, a gap likely to shape future coverage and player expectations.
