As Okami Eyes Its Sequel, It's Time to Look Back at Its Anime Influences

It’s hard to believe that the hit video game Okami is nearly 20 years old. First released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006, the action-adventure game dazzled players with its unique visual style, inspired by traditional Japanese culture and art. It’s been a long wait for a follow-up, but a teaser trailer for Okami 2 was released by Capcom in late 2024, letting fans know that a sequel was now in development.
