Ōkami was never the most-popular game in the world, but its imaginative story, beautiful visuals, and clever drawing-themed gameplay made it a critical darling upon release. Now, Ōkami direc🅷tor Hideki Kamiya and artist Ikumi Nakamura
A tweet by Nakamura shows her with Kamiya, who bluntly states "Ōkami is goinꦍg to be back꧟."
Nakamura then asks "Really?" to which Kamiya responds,🔜 "Really."
This is a bold and definitive statement seeing as how Kamiya now works for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Platinum Games. Ōkami was developed by Clover Studio (Kamiya's former studio) and published by Capcom. Nakamura, as well, no longer works for Capcom, having left her position shortly after the release of the original Ōkami. She would go on to join Platinum Games before eventually teaming up with veteran designer Shinji Mikami at the Zenimax-owned Tango Gameworks. She announced her departure from the🎉 studio this past September.
These complications mean that Nakamura's announcement should probably be approached with cautious optimism. Fans🍰 of the 20🅠06 action-adventure title should wait until one of the property's official owners makes an announcement before getting their hopes up.
Ikumi, for her part, admits her ignorance with regards to these m🃏atters. In a tweet underneath her original post, she says "I don't understand budgets and politics" and that "I want to see simply 🉐great games and games that gamers want to play be developed."
Since she's an artist, it's easy to see why Nakamura considers Ōkami a great game that deserves a sequel. While cel-shading isn't an unusual art style these days, Okami's use of it managed to replicate a hand-painted look. It portrays a world filled with thick brush strokes and bold colors that remains unique eveꦇn 13 years after its initial release.
The gameplay rema💝ins similarly unique. Players control Amaterasu (the goddess of the sun) as they paint with a "Celestial Brush" to fight enemies, control elements, and repair the world around them.
The game was originally released on PlayStation 2, but it has been remastered for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. The enthusiastic response to Nღakamura's original tweet shows there's a clear appetite for a sequel and Capcom would be foolish to ignore that.
