Capcom Celebrates Okami’s 20th Anniversary with Dedicated Website and Franchise Overview This year marks the 20th anniversary of Okami, the critically acclaimed action-adventure series originally developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom.

From its debut on PlayStation 2 in 2006 to its acclaimed releases on multiple platforms—including a visually stunning remaster as Okami HD for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC—the Okami series has continued to captivate audiences with its unique sumi-e art style, innovative gameplay, and compelling narrative. To commemorate two decades of Okami’s enduring legacy, Capcom has launched a special 20th anniversary website.

The newly introduced portal offers fans and newcomers alike a comprehensive overview of the series, its artistic achievements, and its cultural impact within the gaming industry.

The website also features direct links to Okami HD, which is available via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, as well as details about the highly anticipated Okami sequel, which is currently in active development. Capcom representatives noted that the newly launched website aims to “bring together the Okami community and honor the series’ creative history,” highlighting both iconic moments and ongoing developments.

The platform's design is grounded in the franchise’s signature visual motifs, inviting long-time fans to revisit memorable experiences while also welcoming new players into the fold. Since its original release, Okami has garnered widespread praise for its innovative Celestial Brush mechanic and rich storytelling, earning numerous awards and appearing on several “Game of the Year” lists.

Okami HD, the definitive remaster, was released for Nintendo Switch on August 9, 2018, with the Switch version offering enhanced portability and touch control support, further broadening the title’s reach and accessibility.

Across all platforms, the remaster has contributed to Okami’s ongoing popularity, with digital sales surging through services such as the Nintendo eShop. The 20th anniversary website also includes historical retrospectives, exclusive artwork, and a timeline of major milestones for the series.

In addition, Capcom has provided channels for fans to stay updated on the development progress of the Okami sequel, ensuring that the community remains engaged and informed as the beloved franchise continues to evolve.
