Okami’s sequel is on the way, almost two decades later

There were a number of big announcements made at this year’s The Game Awards, but perhaps none were quite as good as the headlines. The eyes. Not only that, the director of the first game, Hideki Kamiya, is at the helm.

“The eyes is a game that is widely praised for its unique world, inspiring story, and exciting experiences,” publisher Capcom said in a statement on YouTube. “Now, a new adventure like The eyes It’s been going well.” Details are limited so far. Production is about to begin.

Kamiya also directed Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry and Good looking Joe first time at Konami, before leaving to form PlatinumGames. It was revealed last year that Kamiya was leaving Bayonetta’s studio. We now know that it is part of a new studio, Clovers, that is making this result along with M-Two Inc Machine Head Works. (Capcom’s closed Clover Studio developed the original.)

The eyes is one of the greatest examples of video games as an art form. As Amaterasu, the Japanese sun god who takes the form of a white wolf, you use a paint brush to overcome obstacles and defeat enemies. The 2006 game had a memorable look, but was modified to improve performance on the PlayStation 2. With the most powerful tools at their disposal, Kamiya, the studio and Capcom have the ability to deliver a sequel that looks better than it deserves. The eyes.
