Okami IP is owned by Capcom who hasn’t made a sequel for it since its original launch on the PlayStation 2. The game has been ported to various platforms including Nintendo Wii, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Despite all of these ports, there hasn’t been any talk about a potential sequel.
Okami did get a spin-off that was released for the Nintendo DS. This spin-off is the only game that has released aside from the original Okami that was directed by Hideki Kamiya. Now that the game director is free from most of his work, it is understandable that he would like to make a sequel.
