First Okamiden details

Small update: A few more details – The game will be playable at TGS and is 25% complete.

- Motohide Eshiro is the producer
- Kuniomi Matsushit is the director
- Chibiterasu is a new wolf character, sort of like an adolescent Okami
- Takes place after the first game
- Chibiterasu is taken to Sakuya by Issun, who asks for the wolf’s help
- Kuninushi (Susano’s son) and other characters will be with you throughout your journey
- Gameplay elements will be similar to the first game
- Unsurprisingly, you use the stylus to control the Celestial Brush similar to how it worked in the original title
- Need to work with Kuninushi to complete the game (ex: need to cross unstable bridge, so you’ll have to make a path for Kuninushi to follow with the stylus)
- Project technically started last December when Matsushita told Eshiro that he was interested in making a portable Okami and had developed a prototype
- Matsushita wants to try and reach out to many different people so that they can experience Okami
