Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Brings Epic Battles to Traditional Japan

Capcom, the renowned Japanese video game developer, has recently provided a tantalizing glimpse of their upcoming title, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. The game, revealed during the Summer Game Fest’s Xbox Showcase, showcases a captivating Japanese folklore theme and aesthetic. Building upon this initial announcement, Capcom has now confirmed that the highly anticipated single-player action RPG will be released not only for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass but also for PlayStation 5, Windows PCs, and Steam.

Kunitsu-Gami invites players into a world where a sacred mountain has been desecrated, resulting in a physical manifestation of blight that spreads across the land. This blight has attracted malevolent creatures known as the Seethe, and players will assume the role of a courageous warrior tasked with vanquishing these formidable foes. Only by triumphing over the Seethe can the path be cleared for the Spirit Stone Maiden to perform the rite of cleansing, thereby restoring the lands to their former glory.

Capcom stated that Kunitsu-Gami follows in the footsteps of their previous successful titles, such as the beloved Okami and the critically acclaimed Shinsekai: Into the Depths. These games have embraced traditional Japanese themes, captivating players with their unique art styles and rich narratives. Building upon this legacy, Kunitsu-Gami promises to immerse players in a world steeped in Japanese folklore, filled with mystical creatures and awe-inspiring landscapes.

 

 

Furthermore, Capcom revealed that the game has been developed using their cutting-edge RE Engine. Initially designed for the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, the engine has since powered various notable titles, including subsequent Resident Evil games, Street Fighter 6, and Devil May Cry 5. With the RE Engine’s proven track record of delivering stunning visuals and immersive gameplay experiences, fans can expect Kunitsu-Gami to offer a visually striking and captivating adventure.

Despite this exciting news, Capcom has yet to provide a specific release date for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. As fans eagerly await further information, it is clear that Capcom’s commitment to Japanese folklore and their utilization of the RE Engine have set the stage for an exceptional gaming experience. Gamers across different platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Windows PCs, and Steam, can anticipate an enthralling journey through a world where they will play a pivotal role in restoring harmony to the land.

As development progresses, fans are advised to stay tuned for future announcements regarding Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, which promises to be another remarkable addition to Capcom’s diverse and celebrated catalog of games.
