Microsoft has announced that Capcom’s upcoming Japanese-inspired single-player action adventure game, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, will be released in 2024. Moreover, MS shared a new gameplay trailer that you can find below.
In Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, you’ll assume the role of Soh. Soh will have to work together with Yoshiro, the Maiden with divine powers, to purge and cleanse the villages of the defilement.
The game promises to combine the exhilarating action of “dancing swords” with the strategic element of deciding which villagers will join you on your journey to cleanse each village. Moreover, the cycle of preparing for battle during the day and protecting the Maiden and the village from evil spirits of the mountains (“The Seethe”) at night is critical to Soh’s success.
During the day, players will explore the village, purge defilements, and rescue villagers so they can join them in battle. Players will also be able to repair contraptions to give them an advantage against The Seethe’s attacks at night.
Players will be able to give villagers different masks that can grant them different powers. You can either make your villagers excel in melee combat, or equip them with long-range weapons.
Each village will have the recognizable Torii gates, and ultimate success is decided upon whether Yoshiro, the divine Maiden, can successfully pass through those gates before she faces defeat at the hands of The Seethe. Each Torii gate is connected to an evil universe, providing an entrance for The Seethe. As such, you’ll have to guide Yoshiro to the Torii gates to purge the defilement and save the village.
Ultimately, you’ll have to protect the Maiden from the oncoming threat of The Seethe by commanding your enlisted villagers while simultaneously doing battle, facing off against The Seethe with Soh’s unique dance-like sword attacks.
Enjoy the trailer and stay tuned for more!
