Thanks to a partnership between Capcom and Hideki Kamiya’s new studio Clovers, an Okami sequel is in the works.

News of a sequel was announced at the Game Awards this evening with a pretty nice teaser trailer. “Okami sequel project is underway,” the short blurb says. “Okami is a game critically acclaimed for its unique world, heartwarming story, and exciting adventures. Now a new Okami-style adventure has been created.”

Below you can check out the teaser for Okami’s sequel, which is still a while away from release. “It will be some time before we can welcome you back, but we really hope you are excited about this project,” reads Capcom’s Okami sequel page.

Clovers with an s is not to be confused with Clover, the studio that Okami developed and to which Kamiya belonged. Unfortunately, this studio closed not too long after Okami’s debut. Earlier this year, Kamiya said Okami was a “huge failure” in terms of initial sales, and if it had been more successful, Clover “probably would have continued.” Thankfully, however, the studio appears to be experiencing something of a revival with Clovers. Many of Okami’s original collaborators return for the sequel, which is also being worked on by M-TWO Inc. and Machine Head Works Inc.

After its initial release in 2006, Okami was ported to the Wii with motion controls before an HD version was released. We were full of praise when this version was released.

“It’s a classic game and an essential part of any collection, especially in this pristine, beautiful remaster. And it shows you a character like no other in a world like no other,” reads Eurogamer’s Okami HD review.

Elsewhere this evening we got to see some stuff from Sega and also got a look at Naughty Dog’s next project.
