Acclaimed adventure title Okami will be making the jump to PlayStation 4 in time for Christmas, reports Kotaku UK. The original Okami launched all the way back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2, and was ported to the Nintendo Wii in 2008. It was then remastered as Okami HD for the PlayStation 3 in 2012.
According to Kotaku's sources, Okami HD will arrive on current-gen consoles on the 12th December. If this all turns out to be true - which seems likely - then you can probably expect Capcom to make an official announcement in the near future.
Have you played this gorgeous looking game before? Would you play it again on PS4? Get those brushes out in the comments section below.

Hope it comes to the switch/ps4 i will buy both because its a great game.
Oh man, yes please. Would love to play this again! Switch version would be good but won't complain at PS4 either.
It's Capcom, so I believe it. They've almost remade their entire library.
Missed out on Okami, but I always really liked the look of it.
If it comes to PS4, I'll get it.
@tonyp1987 @SegaBlueSky Apparently its not coming to Switch so dont get those hopes up.
But hey, you get Resident Evil Revelations, and all future support is based on a 3DS port released only in Japan!
I think the graphic style of games like Okami look great on any system so if you already have it there's no need to buy it again. It's a beautiful game on my PS3 as much as it was a beautiful game on my PS2.
@BLP_Software Aww what a shame, unlucky lad.
I wonder what else Capcom's got left to port? I can't think of much.
For as many times as they have rereleased RE4, Okami deserves it too. I already have the Wii and PS3 version though.
Yes please. Day one. Absolutely love okami. One of the greatest games ever. Would love it if they ported the sequel, okami-den from the ds too!
I remember thinking I was fighting the final boss and being fully satisfied ; only to find I still had like two thirds of the game to go
@get2sammyb ONIMUSHA!!
@Rob_230 Of course!
I played a bit of Okami back on PS2 but didn't get anywhere near finishing it. If it's not too expensive it might be fun to give it another whirl
Let's get a Clover Collection going - Godhand, Viewtiful Joe 1&2, and Okami. Capcom loves compilations!
@get2sammyb All of the good Breath of Fire games (which will never happen).
YES! YES Please!
One of my favourite games.
Hell Yes!! Day zero for me
I still remember playing ps2 okami, I though it's a action game but after defeating the boss again and again and there's still more adventure to play, I just realize I'm playing rpg. It's one of my favorite game on ps2.
@get2sammyb There's still megaman x 1-4, megaman zero series, viewtiful joe, street fighter 2 and 3 for ps4 (it will be really cool if it has the old sprite & true widescreen), street fighter alpha series, devil may cry 1-3, onimusha 1-3 (the one with takeshi kaneshiro, the 10.000 polygon man ), and bionic commando remaster 1.
I want marvel vs capcom 2 too but I don't think that's available.
@kyleforrester87 except Onimusha and Rival Schools 😒
@ShogunRok I'm still salty that Europe never got BoFIV on psn but NA has. 😒
@viciousarcanum Same, it's a disgrace.
@BLP_Software i think its possible anything can happen if the switch has alot of units in the wild and capcom did say it will support the switch if the games sell and ultra street fighter 2 sold well.
The game is a masterpiece so it should be available to play easily on current hardware. I thoroughly played the ps3 version though.
@tonyp1987 Thry then changed that to "If Monster Hunter XX does well in Japan"
One of my favourite games of all time.
Didn't the ps3 release render at 4k then downsampled to 1080p? I'm sure I remember reading that somewhere...
I didnt play this game so its very good news. Watched trailer on YT and looks beautiful.
@ZurapiiYohane
Yeah, me too
Fun fact: The PS3 version actually ran at 4K downsampled to 1080p.
I wonder if it will run at 8K downsampled on the Pro.
I played the living hell out of this game last fall on the PS3 and greatly, GREATLY enjoyed it.
Wish I played the game sooner in my life instead of procrastinating so long.
@get2sammyb There's always Chaos Legion.
@Orpheus79V @paradox32 Hah, that's amazing — I didn't know that!
@BLP_Software which we all know monster honster in japan will do well so i think after this we should get more games from capcom.
I never played this game but I remember spending hours on the DS version and that was an amazing game so would definitely pick this one up!
I really hope the utilise the touch pad for the brush strokes. Will feel so more natural and responsive than the sticks. Can't wait for it tho.
I love this game. I've been wanting to replay it but now I think I'll wait if this turns out to be true.
@Wazeddie22 Duuuuude! If you thought the DS version was amazing, prepare to be blown away when you play this game. This game is waaaaaay better than the DS version.
This news makes me so happy especially since there is going to be a physical release. It's just crazy because I was just thinking of hooking up my PS3 to play this now I'll just wait to play it on ps4. It's seriously the best Zelda game ever made and that's including the actual Zelda games
@tonyp1987 kotaku reported that it was coming to ps4 and Xbox one with no mention of pc or switch
The name is familiar but forgot the Premise and didn't have a chance to watch the vid yet.
Yes please. Still one of the very best games ever made.
I'm in!
@Fooligan I know,been looking up old videos on YouTube!Don't know how I ever missed this one but played the handheld version?lol
My Wii disk is lying around somewhere, but I haven't yet got round to playing it. Let's see if I can get started on it before the HD PS4 version releases.
@get2sammyb uuummm what?!? Whether we're talking about just a port or a remake How about the SF alpha series, the onimusha series, final fight series, dark watch, viewtiful joe series, magic sword! Though i NEED the sf alpha series playable online what i want most is for capcom to try to remember their past and take that with them and make new IPs. Would LOVE to see them start releasing some old school classic styled (but brand new) capcom 2d games.
Oh my god yes! This is what i want for xmas!
@get2sammyb Give me 4K versions of Killer 7 and Viewtiful Joe and I'll be happy.
@get2sammyb any MH title that was on Nintendo that they can port...
played it twice
Not gonna get this game BUT I do hope for a new game and idc what platform although this is one of the games where motion controls actually work for this kinda game... particularly w the paintbrush but if on PC then the mouse also works well too!
Already got it on my Ps3 hard drive. But as a dumb fanboy, get me a physical release and I will give you my money, Capcom. Again.
