After almost 20 years Capcom has finally returned to its roots. First the announcement of a new Onimusha game and now we’re finally getting an Okami sequel directed by Hideki Kamiya. The mid 2000s are back and they’re here to stay (until the 2010’s become nostalgic).
There isn’t a whole lot to interpret from the trailer, which is just an animated short, but that animated short contains a lot of the art and flair that made the original Okami such a beloved cult classic. With Kamiya behind the gameplay and, presumably, some members of the original art team behind the art style it looks like we’re looking at another masterclass of beauty just like the original Okami that wowed us back in 2006.
