Oh boy, Ikumi Nakamura just loves causing trouble on Twitter, and she's at it again. The former Ghostwire Tokyo developer, now seemingly touring the many game studios of the world, has teamed up with Platinum's Hideki Kamiya for her latest tweet, in which the duo joke about resurrecting classic action adventure title Okami. At least, we think it's a joke.
"Okami is going to be back," says Kamiya, before giving a big thumbs-up to the camera. "Really?" asks Nakamura. "Really," replies Kamiya. The two then break into laughter as the video is cut.
Both Nakamura and Kamiya worked on the original Okami back on the PS2, but obviously neither of them are developing games for Capcom these days. Still, that hasn't stopped the tweet from causing waves around the web, with thousands of people now whipped up over the thought of a potential sequel.
This is Capcom's call to make, but the company did recently say that it wants to explore its dormant franchises. Could Okami be one of them? Maybe Nakamura and Kamiya saw the news and wanted to let Capcom know they'd be up for it? Tough to say.
Would you like to see a sequel to Okami? Paint some pictures in the comments section below.

Nakamura's just jetting around the world and winding people up. I love it, what a troll.
Most overrated game in history.
Given my profile picture, i would obviously love this to be true. Although there actually already is a sequel, Okamiden, on nintendo ds. Maybe capcom could port that?
That would be amazing if not maybe the can add a layered armor for my palico in MHWI like they did on generation
It would be great to see more of the motion features and touch related elements of the ds4 be implemented, if this is true. Controlling the celestial brush by actually drawing on the pad could be a cool feature.
That Okami game that’s on the Nintendo DS is largely overlooked. But I heard it wasn’t as good as the original but still a good game or so. It would be cool if Okami came back with a new game, but I would rather have Capcom bring back another franchise. Rival Schools.
Does the world want an Okami sequel. Hmm. Does the Pope s**t in the woods?!
@Rephlex *in your opinion. Fixed that for you 🙂
I played the heck out of it on PS2, maybe one day I'll pick up the PS4 version cheap. What a lovely art style. The dog's animation was so ahead.
Along with Geralt of Rivia, I love this white wolf.
Seeing these two together joking around is comedy gold.
What a lovely piece of news it would be...played it 3 times!
@NeoTokyo404 ...no.
@kyleforrester87 Okay, maybe Pope Francis doesn't, but surely Pope Benedict XVI did!
Would love a new Okami game, but I kinda doubt it'll happen.
Make it happen, damnit! > <
Okami is probably one of the best games ever made. This article has inspired me to do another playthrough and get the platinum trophy for it!
