As predicted by 7-Eleven, your source for Japanese game news leaks, the new issue of Famitsu does feature an article on a new Okami game called Okamiden. That’s a snapshot of the article, right there.
Earlier this month, a mysterious (well, now less mysterious) Capcom trademark for “Okamiden” surface.
Okami was developed by Capcom subsidiary Clover Studios, which as since been dissolved. The lead designer and producer founded Platinum Games and are now putting the finishing touches on Bayonetta.
The one player adventure game is scheduled for 2010.
Thanks Amy for the tip!
