Capcom had an enormous evening at The Recreation Awards this week with the return of a pair traditional titles, and it appears like they will not be the final.
It looks as if Capcom can not help however keep successful in the mean time, because it had a pair of thrilling reveals at this 12 months’s Recreation Awards. First off there’s that darkish and vibey new Onimusha, with what appears to be like to be a correct return to kind after the final entry within the collection being a VR one this 12 months, and nothing since 2018 earlier than that. The true star of the evening, although, was simply the truth that Capcom is teaming up with Hideki Kamiya’s new studio Clovers to make a sequel to Okami, one of the vital beloved PS2 JRPGs round, 18 years after the sport was initially launched.
Simply this July Kamiya was asking Capcom to let him make Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3, so except he was simply being a bit cheeky, a sequel to Okami being within the works will likely be fairly a brand new improvement. However both means, these are each titles that Capcom has left within the mud for some time, and in a information launch paired with the bulletins, the developer made it clear that these will not be the one revivals of older titles inside its catalogue.
“Along with commonly releasing main new titles annually, Capcom is specializing in re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a brand new title launch not too long ago,” the developer defined within the launch. “The corporate is working to additional improve company worth by leveraging its wealthy library of content material, which incorporates reviving previous IPs like the 2 titles introduced above, as a way to constantly produce extremely environment friendly, high-quality titles.”
Perhaps Kamiya will get his want for Viewtiful Joe 3 in any case! And naturally, there’s in fact all these Dino Disaster followers determined for a brand new one, and I personally would not be against a brand new Misplaced Planet.
