The sequel to this game that marked us all will arrive, but it won't be in 2026

The studio Clovers, founded just two years ago by the legendary Hideki Kamiya, has presented a promising advance of the anticipated game Okami Sequel, which picks up the story of the goddess Amaterasu. The revelation took place during The Game Awards 2024 and generated notable expectations among fans of the saga, who have been eager for the return of the mythical white wolf.

Clovers is focused on other projects

However, Kento Koyama, president and CEO of Clovers, has been clear in stating that the release of this sequel will not happen in the short term. In a message for the New Year 2026, Koyama commented: We are working hard on the sequel to Okami, although there is still a long way to go before the release. We can’t wait to give you the finished game. This announcement demonstrates the team’s commitment to quality and innovation, ensuring that their goal is to exceed players’ expectations.

Over the past year, Clovers has been expanding its team, bringing in new talent to strengthen its creative and technological capabilities. Koyama emphasized that the studio will not be limited to producing sequels of iconic titles from Clover Studio, such as Okami and Viewtiful Joe. This flexibility opens the door to the creation of new gaming experiences, which excites both fans of the original games and those looking for new content.

Despite the lack of recent information about Okami Sequel, fans of the franchise can hold on to hope. The dedication and vision presented by Clovers suggest that, although the wait may be long, the arrival of a new chapter in the world of Amaterasu will come sooner or later.
