Although information on Capcom's sequel to Okami is still in short supply, it's been confirmed that the game will be making use of the company's in-house RE Engine. The original Okami, first released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006, was developed by the now-defunct Clover Studio, led by Devil May Cry and Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya - and though the game had its devoted fans, the only sequel that it received in the years after was the DS-exclusive Okamiden. Now, however, a new Okami sequel is in development, again led by Hideki Kamiya and his newly established studio, Clovers.

While Capcom has been making plenty of official announcements, including a remake of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny and updates on Monster Hunter Wilds, a potential leak indicates that a remake of the first Devil May Crymight also be in the works. Originally released in 2001, Devil May Cry is largely considered to have created the hack and slash, or "character action" genre, going on to influence the development of franchises like God of War and Bayonetta, the latter of which was a later work of DMC's director, Hideki Kamiya.

For years, it seemed like it would never happen, but it's finally official: Okami is back, and every video game fan owes it to themselves to play it. The Zelda-like adventure game originally released by Capcomin 2006 to rave reviews but lackluster sales, seemingly dooming it to be ed as an obscure cult classic for the rest of its days. Then something amazing happened- -a sequel to Okami was announced at The Game Awards 2024, and with that comes an opportunity for fans to rediscover what was almost a lost classic.

The sequel to Okami has finally been announced and it’s the game I have been eagerly waiting for – even if my hopes for it had been shattered – since 2006. The new game in Capcom’s franchise was announced after several years of rumors about it being in production. The title was part of one of the many The Game Awards 2024 announcements, and it was presented with a short cinematic trailer. The video showcased a wolf running through darkened woods and, upon reaching an open field and seeing the sunlight, Amaterasu’s signature Divine Retribution reflector appears upon its back.

Last month, Screen Rant had the honor of traveling to Osaka for a special Monster Hunter Wildspreview event. Though the main focus of the trip was to try an extended hands-on gameplay session with the title, the trip offered a lot of new insight into developer Capcom’s studio as well. This guided trip gave a much clearer picture of how all the different parts of the company work together to create a single cohesive and creative product, and gave me a newfound appreciation for all the different levels of work that go into something like Wilds.

Capcom has been on a roll in the last few years, and it seems like that roll will continue if the Monster Hunter Wildsbeta is truly representative of the final product. Yes, there are some performance issues, especially due to PC optimization problems, but it should be noted that the beta isn't the final version of the game or even the version that the developer is currently working on. From a gameplay perspective, there's already a lot to love, especially for fans that were introduced to the series with Monster Hunter World.

A new Dino Crisis seems more likely than ever following a recent Capcom survey. The Capcom Super Election, which runs until April 12th, includes questions about some of the company's dormant franchises, with players manually typing in their answers and selecting them from a drop-down menu, rather than choosing from pre-selected multiple-choice answers.

Rumors hint at RE titles. ]]><![CDATA[

There may be a lot more Resident Evilon the way. Capcom successfully revived the dormant franchise in 2017, with the groundbreaking Resident Evil: Biohazard. It followed up with a series of remakes, retelling the series’ early years through 2023's remake of Resident Evil 4, and a direct sequel in Resident Evil Village. The past few years have delivered an embarrassment of riches to Resident Evil fans, but since RE Village's decisive ending and cryptic post-credits scene, one has to question what's coming next for the series.
