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 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
