Hideki Kamiya, creator of Okami, Bayonetta & Devil May Cry, isn’t with Platinum Games anymore. In fact, he is currently unemployed. However, he has been thinking about his future in video gaming development, and if a recent interview is any indicator, he already knows exactly where and what he wants to do next.
You see, Kamiya recently appeared in an UNSEEN interview with Ikumi Nakamura. There, Kamiya revealed that he isn’t retiring and wants to do Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3 with Capcom. He wants to do an Okami sequel for 2 reasons. For one, Okami ranked high on a Capcom survey gauging fan interest in the company’s game IPs and characters. Another reason is that he still wants to finish Okami’s story, which he feels is incomplete.
As for Viewtiful Joe 3, he simply wants to work on that. It wasn’t one of the survey’s possible choices, so he actually sent Capcom a response saying that “I am Hideki Kamiya, let me make Viewtiful Joe’s sequel”. He says that, despite Capcom highlighting some fan comments, his input wasn’t reflected in the survey results. You can see the video where Kamiya talked about the matter down below.
