After taking E3 2019 by storm with her earnest charm and stage presence, Ikumi Nakamura may have just won the internet’s attention all over again. A short clip and tweet was posted today of her with PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya, the man behind Bayonetta and Viewtiful Joe, among others. It’s the two’s main shared credit that gets spotlighted, though — a little game called Ōkami.
Okami is going to be back! We want to make Okami sequel and fans are looking forward to it too. You guys want to see Kamiya’s Okami again, right, everyone? I want to work on it too! 大神をまた作りたい私たちです。🙏😊@CapcomUSA_ @OKAMI_CAP pic.twitter.com/bLwuGnTew1

The tweet states clearly that the two would love to revisit Ōkami’s beautiful world, for which Kamiya was director and story lead, while Nakamura designed backgrounds. They call for a sequel, both rallying fans to agree and shouting out Ōkami IP holder Capcom. There’s a certain playfulness to the video clip, mind you, but if words are to be believed, then “Ōkami is going to be back.”
Let us know if you would want an Ōkami sequel, because if it involves these two, then we absolutely do.
