Ikumi Nakamura is interested in having the license returned with a new installment; He would like Hideki Kamiya to take over.
Ikumi Nakamura, a well-known artist in Japan with experience in Capcom and Tango Gameworks – where she left last September – has declared in a meeting with IGN Japan that she wants to revive the Okami saga and that she will propose it to the company soon.
During the broadcast, Nakamura underwent a round of questions where the interpreter who mediated the meeting translated his words with the following statements: “Regarding Okami, this is the project that he wants to make reality with more interest.” And that “he has the feeling that the odds are so high that it can be a reality. Once the quarantine is over and the world returns to normal, she is planning to visit Capcom and propose the idea, but for her the most important thing is that, if it happens, she wants [Hideki] Kamiya is in charge of directing it. ”
Hideki Kamiya already said it in October: he wants the saga to return
Ikumi Nakamura’s name will ring out to those who watched the Bethesda conference last E3 2019; She was one of the managers of the presentation of GhostWire Tokyo. Knowing companies such as Clover Studio and PlatinumGames, we are facing a profile that knows very closely the icon staff derived from the departure of Capcom, where Hideki Kamiya himself is among others. He himself indicated last October that he wanted the saga to return with a sequel, but there was no mediation by Capcom in the request, made on Twitter with a direct appointment to the official account of those from Osaka. In March he insisted: he wants Okami and Viewtiful Joe back.
After seeing the light in HD on current generation consoles, the journey of the famous Okami of Clover Studio and Capcom (2006, PS2) is now facing an uncertain future. Despite the rumors about a possible return in the form of a sequel, the truth is that there is nothing concrete officially. One thing is clear: Capcom is working on new remakes and has plans in place to commercially exploit some of its licenses. Resident Evil is one of the names with the most ballots, but there are also Monster Hunter or Street Fighter, among many others.
