In a recent interview with Unseen founder Ikumi Nakamura, Hideki Kamiya reignited hopes for sequels to his beloved titles, Okami and Viewtiful Joe. Kamiya's heartfelt desire to continue these narratives, particularly Okami's unfinished story, was a central theme.
The interview, featured on Unseen's YouTube channel, highlighted Kamiya's strong sense of responsibility to complete Okami's story, which he feels ended prematurely. This sentiment was echoed by Nakamura, emphasizing their shared history and passion for the game. The recent Capcom survey, where Okami ranked among the top seven most-wanted sequels, further solidified this desire. Kamiya even humorously noted the incomplete narrative of Viewtiful Joe, despite its smaller fanbase, and his unsuccessful attempt to advocate for a sequel in the Capcom survey.
This isn't the first time Kamiya has publicly expressed his wish for an Okami sequel. A previous interview in 2021 touched on his departure from Capcom and the lingering unfinished aspects of Okami. The increased player base following the release of Okami HD only amplified the calls for a continuation.
The interview also showcased the strong creative synergy between Kamiya and Nakamura, whose collaboration began on Okami and continued on Bayonetta. Nakamura's contributions to Bayonetta's art and world-building are testament to their collaborative spirit. Kamiya praised Nakamura's ability to enhance his vision, underscoring the importance of a shared creative goal.
The interview concluded with both developers expressing continued dedication to game development and their hope for future projects. The future of Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3 rests largely with Capcom's decision, but the interview generated significant excitement among fans eagerly anticipating official announcements.
