Only the maiden can purify the mountain by performing her Kagura dance at a shrine- and you must make sure she is able to do this. This action-strategy game is set in a Japan-inspired fantasy world and directed by veteran Capcom artist Shuichi Kawata- who previously directed Shinsekai: Into the Depths.

Even though the setting is Japan-inspired fantasy, a lot of attention to detail seems to have gone into every aspect of the game. Yesterday Capcom uploaded a meditative <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/L0czjZmtMUk?si=_V6uhsvI1CYSAy2l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making-of clip<\/a> that suggests that a large number of physical scale-models, real-life traditional costumes and motion capture have gone into creating the spirit and atmosphere of Path of the Goddess. Considering that its setting is strongly influenced by Shintoism and <em>kami<\/em>, it will likely appeal to those who enjoyed Capcom\u2019s classic Okami.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002.jpg\" alt=\"Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess\" class=\"wp-image-32359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240613-32348-002-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kunitsu-gami.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess<\/a> is scheduled to be released on PS4\/PS5, Xbox One\/Series S|X and PC (Steam) on July 19, 2024.
