In a captivating discussion with Japanese outlet Game Spark, Hideki Kamiya, head of Clovers Studio, and his former colleague Kento Koyama, shared their intriguing vision for the future of gaming. Anticipation is palpable as fans await news on the studio’s bold initiative to breathe new life into the Okami saga. However, the duo emphasized that their ambitions aren't solely focused on revisiting beloved franchises; they're equally committed to forging fresh intellectual properties.
Koyama: "We have a clear vision that embraces all possibilities in game development. Crafting something engaging might involve continuing a cherished series or inventing a brand-new concept, or perhaps even a spiritual successor. Our approach to creating captivating games knows no bounds."
Kamiya: "That’s exactly it. It all boils down to whether the idea is 'fun' or not. If we come across an enticing opportunity to utilize existing IP in a way that resonates with 'Clovers Nice,' we’re on board. We will align our proposals with the desire to create something uniquely ours, and if the momentum builds, original creations will certainly be in the mix. It's all about whether we're daring enough to explore these avenues."
Looking forward to seeing what Clovers Studio will create! #GameDev
