Okami fans rejoice! The Okami HD Remaster has been confirmed and it will be released outside of Japan as well. It’s also available for multiple platforms.

 

Okami HD Remaster Officially Announced

After an alleged leak from Famitsu earlier today, Capcom has officially announced the HD remastered version of Okami, which will be known from this point onwards as Okami HD. Alongside the announcement we get the first trailer, alongside some screenshots of the game.

Okami HD Remaster

The game will launch for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in the United States and Europe on December 12th 2017, priced at a pretty affordable USD $19.99. Interestingly, both PS4 and Xbox One will also get a physical release on top of the digital launch, while the PC version will be available only on Steam.

The graphics have been updated to take advantage of modern resolutions, and 4K will be supported on PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC. Okami was originally released in 2006 for PS2, and then ported to Wii in 2008 and to PS3 in 2012.

Okami HD Remaster

The game, inspired by Japanese folklore and legends, tells the story of the goddess Amaterasu, who travels the land to dispel a curse cast by the eight-headed demon Orochi, accompanied by the artist Issun. It’s well known for its absolutely charming art style and for the unique gameplay based on the celestial brush mechanic.

In Okami HD players take on the role of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess who inhabits the form of a legendary white wolf Shiranui on a quest to defeat Orochi, an eight-headed demon and tyrannical monster responsible for turning the world into a ruined wasteland.

Players must use Amaterasu’s magical abilities and arsenal of items, attacks and Celestial Brush techniques to restore the land of Nippon to its previous glory full of life and color. Along the way, Amaterasu will be called upon to help a cast of quirky and intriguing characters and defeat a bevy of brutal enemies to rid the land of Orochi’s curse.

Interestingly, it’ll be possible to toggle between widescreen format or the original release’s 4:3 aspect ratio. The Interactive loading screens from the original game on PS2 will also be included, allowing you to earn bonus demon fangs which you can trade for in-game items.

 

Pokdepinion: Just when you thought you needed to buy a PlayStation 4 to play Okami HD if it ever comes out, that’s no longer the case. Many gamers will surely be happy about this.
