Ōkami 2 Is Officially Coming: A Direct Sequel in Early Stages

The highly anticipated sequel to the beloved game Ōkami has been confirmed as a direct continuation of the original story. Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi shared that the new Ōkami title will follow the events of the first game, bringing back the great god Amaterasu. Despite the speculation on how this installment would follow the first, it has been clarified that it will not connect to the previous sequel, Ōkamiden, which faced mixed reviews. The project is in its early development stages, and fans can expect more news in the future as the team looks forward to expanding the adventures of Amaterasu.

Currently, Ōkami 2 is in very early development, and while there is excitement surrounding it, no release date has been confirmed. The team announced the game early due to their enthusiasm, but fans may have to wait a while for more details.

Ōkami originally launched in 2006 and garnered critical acclaim for its unique art style and gameplay mechanics, utilizing a distinctive brushstroke system to solve puzzles and combat enemies. It has influenced numerous titles over the years while building a devoted fan base. The story revolves around Amaterasu, the sun goddess, who reawakens in a world plagued by darkness, setting out to restore life and color to the land. The sequel aims to honor this legacy while introducing new adventures.
