The brand new Clovers Studio, led by online game business legend Hideki Kamiya, will not be restricted to “current IP”.
Talking to Japanese publication GameSpark, Kamiya and his former PlatinumGames colleague Kento Koyama talked about how simply because Clovers was beginning with a sequel to Okami, did not imply it could essentially restrict itself to sequels and religious successors.
The staff is definitely open to “completely new IP” and “won’t shut off any prospects” with regards to future initiatives past the brand new Okami title (translation through VGC):
Kento Koyama: “In the case of contemplating what to work on subsequent, the studio might imagine it may very well be fascinating to make a sequel to an current IP, or a religious successor, or a completely new IP altogether.”
Kamiya added to this noting how the studio would after all be open to a sport based mostly on an current IP so long as the staff felt it may add its distinctive fashion, and it obtained that “wow feeling” from the venture proposal.
For now, the main focus is all on Okami 2 which will probably be directed by Hideki Kamiya however would not have a launch date or any platorms confirmed at this early stage of growth.
