It's been a long two-and-a-half years of silence since a cinematic teaser for Kemuri hinted at what it would be about: hunting mythical demons in dense urban environments. Much of the interest in the game came from studio founder Ikumi Nakamura, who cut her teeth at Capcom and made herself known during a presentation for Tango Gameworks' Ghostwire: Tokyo. At Sony's State of Play today we finally got a chance to see what Kemuri really looks like, and dare I say it's kinda Suicide Squad, but... cool?
As that teaser hinted at in 2023, Kemuri is a co-op action game about hunting yokai, and there's some really slick animation on display in the new gameplay trailer; I'd say it lives up to the vision the studio had going into development. If it feels as good to play as it looks in motion, I've gotta get my hands on this thing stat.
