  • A sequel to PS2 and Wii gem Okami is now in development
  • Hideki Kamiya's new studio, Clovers, is heading up development
  • It's been 18 years since the original game first released

Kamiya served as director of the original Okami, and the name of his new team is starkly reminiscent of original developer Clover Studio; the predecessor to PlatinumGames and maker of cult hits such as God Hand and the Viewtiful Joe series in addition to Okami.

The short trailer shown at The Game Awards confirms that wolf protagonist Amaterasu is returning, as well as that gorgeous painterly art style that made the original game stand out all those years ago.

We're naturally not too sure what form the project will take in the end, but the Okami sequel's website states: "a new adventure in the same vein as Okami has been set in motion," hinting that it'll likely retain what made the original so special.

There is also currently no release date attached to the project, which is understandable for a game that's just started development. Even the website says that: "it will be some time before we greet you again, but we really hope you look forward to this project."
