In a recent Unseen interview with Ikumi Nakamura, Hideki Kamiya reignited fan hopes for sequels to Okami and Viewtiful Joe. Kamiya expressed strong feelings of responsibility for Okami's unfinished narrative, citing its abrupt ending as a source of regret. He urged Capcom to partner on a continuation, referencing a past Capcom survey where Okami ranked among the top seven games fans desired to see a sequel for.
While acknowledging Viewtiful Joe's smaller fanbase, Kamiya highlighted its incomplete storyline as well. He humorously recounted submitting feedback to the Capcom survey advocating for a sequel, only to find his input excluded from the final results.

This isn't Kamiya's first public expression of his desire for an Okami sequel. A 2021 interview revealed his intention to address unresolved plot points and expand on initial concepts in a potential sequel. The subsequent release of Okami HD broadened the game's audience, further intensifying his commitment to completing the story.
The Unseen interview also showcased the creative synergy between Kamiya and Nakamura, highlighting their collaborative history on Okami and Bayonetta. Nakamura's contributions to concept art and design significantly shaped the unique style of these games. Kamiya praised her ability to enhance his vision.


Despite leaving PlatinumGames last year, Kamiya remains dedicated to game development. The interview concluded with both developers expressing optimism for future projects and their continued commitment to creating impactful games. Ultimately, the future of Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3 rests with Capcom's decision to collaborate. The gaming community eagerly awaits an official announcement.
