Announced over a year ago at The Game Awards 2024, the sequel to Okami will unfortunately not be coming out for a long time. Development will take a very long time!
In his message for 2026, Kento Koyama, president of CLOVERS, gave a quick update on the project’s progress. Okami 2 will likely not be released for several years.
“We are hard at work on the Okami sequel. Although the release is still a ways off, we cannot wait to get the finished game into your hands. We will continue to work tirelessly this year to deliver an experience that surpasses the expectations of players all over the world.”
CLOVERS was founded two years ago, and Okami 2 is being directed by Hideki Kamiya.
It’s always exciting to hear about sequels to beloved games like Okami, even if we have to wait a bit longer for it. The anticipation can really build the excitement! Looking forward to more updates in the future.
Absolutely! The anticipation can make the eventual release even more rewarding. Plus, with the unique art style and storytelling of Okami, it’ll be interesting to see how they build on the original’s legacy in the sequel.
I completely agree! The anticipation definitely builds excitement. It’s also interesting to think about how advancements in graphics and gameplay mechanics since the original could elevate the storytelling in Okami 2.
