Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Celebrates Anniversary With Free 8-Bit Update on Nintendo Switch 2

Capcom has officially announced a special update in celebration of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess' first anniversary, bringing a host of new features and fresh content to Nintendo Switch 2 players.

The mystical action-strategy title, developed by Capcom, debuted digitally on the Nintendo eShop and quickly captivated fans with its unique blend of tactical combat, spiritual themes, and dynamic gameplay. In recognition of the community’s support over the past year, Capcom will release a free update next month that introduces the 'Yashichi Waves Mazo Talisman.' When equipped, this unique accessory transforms selected in-game tracks with an "8-bit flair," allowing fans to enjoy reimagined music that pays homage to classic retro gaming aesthetics.

The update serves as a nostalgic treat for players old and new, further deepening the appeal of the game's atmospheric soundtrack. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess takes players on a richly woven journey, blending cunning tactics with kagura sword dancing set against relentless waves of supernatural adversaries called the Seethe.

Players assume the role of Soh, the protector charged with defending the sacred Maiden Yoshiro.

Core gameplay tasks players with commanding rescued villagers, strategically purifying corrupted lands, and planning defenses through shifting day and night cycles.

Each decision impacts the outcome of the unfolding battle, encouraging players to strategize and act decisively. With the arrival of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess on Nintendo Switch 2, Capcom has outlined several newly enhanced features tailored for the updated platform.

The Switch 2 port allows fans to experience the adventure whether they're on-the-go in handheld mode, enjoying local multiplayer in tabletop mode, or experiencing the action on the big screen in TV mode.

Controls have been reimagined for the Switch 2, including support for both mouse and gyro inputs, providing expanded accessibility and precision. Additionally, Capcom is introducing new content called 'Otherworldly Venture' as part of this release.

This extra challenge offers a novel experience beyond the base game and will be included as a free update not only for Nintendo Switch 2 owners but also for players on existing platforms.

This commitment ensures that the entire player base can take advantage of the latest gameplay enhancements and fresh adventures. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is available now for digital download on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide.

For both newcomers and veterans of the series, Capcom's anniversary update and new features promise to enrich the enduring legacy of one of the most distinctive action-strategy games available on the platform.

Stay tuned for more details as the anniversary approaches and the free retro update goes live.
