Please Capcom, may I have some more?
Following its reveal duringXbox Games Showcase, Capcom have given us a few details on their upcoming gameKunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess. When it was first announced on Sunday, we knew very little about the game other than itlooks very pretty, and we’ve been eager to know more ever since. The game also opened Capcom’s own showcase the next day, where the same trailer was shown and we didn’t get any new information on it. Very enlightening. But luckily, some more details have dripped through, which we’ve summarised below.
Thanks to atweetyesterday, we now know Kunitsu-Gami is being developed byCapcom Dev 1, the division that’s responsible for theirResident Evil,Devil May Cry,Dead RisingandMega Mangames. The tweet also revealed the game is anactionstrategygame. Hurrah!
As for what we’ll be strategising and action-ing about, we can glean a bit more from thegame’s official website. Alongside some gorgeous screenshots and artwork for the game is a bit of plot detail, revealing that players will be helping a character called the Spirit Stone Maiden cleanse the world of corruption. Here’s what Capcom shared:
“This sacred mountain has been defiled by the people who dwell upon it. Their defilement spreads across the land as a physical blight, beckoning forth foul creatures called the Seethe. The Spirit Stone Maiden is prepared to perform a rite of cleansing, but she needs a guide to clear her path…”
Capcom also give a nod toOkamiand their Apple Arcade game Shinsekai - Into The Depths on the website too, saying it follows in the same tradition of exploring rich Japanese-inspired landscapes.
Kunitsu-Gami’s website also confirms it will be a single-player adventure for precisely one (1) player only, and it will be on both Game Pass and Steam. We’ll have to wait for the next announcement to find out more, though, including its release date.
