One huge thriller in tonight’s Xbox Video games Showcase was the announcement of Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess, a brand new recreation from Capcom. It is some type of motion recreation seemingly steeped in Japanese mythology and it has monsters and an terrible lot of masks and that is about all we are able to say for sure proper now. However it is rather fairly! It seems neat! See for your self within the trailer beneath.

As for what it’s, ah, effectively, some type of third-person recreation “mixing motion and technique.” Which does. Some stuff. Weirdly, Capcom appear to not be acknowledging the truth that they simply introduced a complete new recreation. They haven’t defined something about it and even talked about its existence. Presumably they’ll faux the announcement is one huge shock throughout their very own livestreamed showcase on Monday, which begins at 11pm BST.

For now, this is the obscure blurb relayed by Microsoft on the Xbox weblog:

“Fend off foul creatures and lead the Spirit Stone Maiden on her path. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a model new title which upholds Capcom’s legacy of unique and progressive works. This labor of affection follows within the custom of actually distinctive titles equivalent to Okami and Shinsekai – Into The Depths. Discover an unbelievable world during which conventional Japanese aesthetics are delivered to beautiful life by the ability of RE Engine. Get pleasure from a novel gameplay expertise mixing motion and technique. Witness an epic conflict between the spirit realm and mortal man.”

The sport which first got here to thoughts for me was Asura’s Wrath, a recreation grounded in Buddhist mythology and starring the world’s angriest demigod, a person so offended you may interrupt enemies’ cutscene monologues by punching them together with his many arms. One thing concerning the corrupting meat and the dancing masked figures felt Asura-y to me. Ah, I nonetheless hope that recreation may come to PC someday.

Capcom have not introduced when Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess is coming, however it is going to be on Recreation Go on launch day. It is also hitting Xbox Xeries XS.
