The new action-strategy game has a mid-range price of $49.99 in the US, and an even lower (converted) price of $31.01 in Japan. In a recent joint media interview (reported on by our <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/interviewsjp\/capcom-pathofthegoddess-20240702-300021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Japanese sister-site<\/a>), Kunitsu-Gami&#8217;s director Shuichi Kawata and producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi shared details about the game\u2019s concept and development, including the reasoning behind its pricing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - Demo Trailer | PS5 &amp; PS4 Games\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yRp15dvL5uE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a brand-new IP from Capcom. Officially described as a \u201cKagura Action Strategy game,\u201d the title blends real-time tower defense strategy mechanics with action gameplay. The worldbuilding and creatures are inspired by traditional Japanese folklore. As the protagonist Soh, you fight to protect the maiden Yoshino and purge the villages of Mt. Kafuku from the defilement that corrupts them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the upcoming title&#8217;s price and volume, Hirabayashi remarks, \u201cit will take no less than 20 hours just to clear the story. Then, of course, there will also be missions and challenges to clear after completing the story, so I think the volume of the game is comparable to that of a full priced title.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The producer goes on to explain that with the game being a completely new endeavor for Capcom, they tried to make the game as affordable as they could in the hope of encouraging as many players as possible to give it a try.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is intended to be played and enjoyed as is, with no plans for additional DLC to be released down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/capcom-pathofthegoddess-20240702-300021-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-33308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/capcom-pathofthegoddess-20240702-300021-002.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/capcom-pathofthegoddess-20240702-300021-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/capcom-pathofthegoddess-20240702-300021-002-768x432.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is scheduled to launch on July 19 for the PC (Steam\/Windows), PS4\/PS5, Xbox One\/Xbox Series X|S (including an Xbox Game Pass release).
