Ready at Dawn was sadly shuttered last year, but during the span of the studio’s twenty years in operation, a port of Okami for Wii was a passion project that the company worked on. In a recent interview, co-founder Dawn Andrea Pessino spoke about what went into making it happen and the struggles involved.

Things began when Ready at Dawn and Capcom were talking during GDC many years ago. Pessino indicated that the challenges started due to a lack of resources from Capcom. Not much was provided and everything was in Japanese.

Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and The Wonderful 101 are all part of the same universe. That’s according to Hideki Kamiya, the creator of these franchises.

Kamiya was responding to a fan comment that asked about Bayonetta and Devil May Cry sharing the same universe. However, it was clarified that his other games are a part of that as well. They all fall under the same umbrella dubbed the “Kamiya-verse.”

In a recent social media post, Okami creator Hideki Kamiya spoke about the game’s original concept, including how the initial idea was a side-scroller.

According to Kamiya, the very beginning of his idea involved playing as the leader of a pack of wolves, living on a deserted island, and trying to survive in nature. He was inspired by a particular book he saw while in university.

In an interview with IGN Japan, Ikumi Nakamura answered a bunch of different fan questions. One topic that came up later on in the discussion concerned Okami, including the possibility of a sequel. Nakamura’s response was interesting to say the least.

As relayed by Nakamura’s translator, she actually intends to pitch a new Okami game to Capcom. The only personal guideline she has is for Hideki Kamiya to return as director.

After it originally debuted on the PlayStation 2, Capcom has continued to re-release Okami across multiple platforms and generations. Switch was one of the latest systems to have received a port of the game. Despite the many platforms Okami is on, Capcom hasn’t done much with the IP – aside from DS’ Okamiden, which didn’t really involve the original creators.

Director Hideki Kamiya, along with Ikumi Nakamura who worked on background production, seem to be interested in making a sequel. Kamiya said in a Twitter video that “Okami is going to be back.” Of course, that doesn’t confirm anything, especially given that Kamiya is known to troll his fans. That being said, we at least know the interest is there.

Here’s the video in question:
