Okami.

Okami 2 was announced last night at The Game Awards 2024, but its returning director says he didn't think that day would ever come.

In a message shared on Twitter, Hideki Kamiya, who directed the original 2006 game and is returning for its sequel after 18 years, pointed to the "until next time" message that appeared at the end of the game. "How long has it been since the story was concluded with that?" he asked.
