Okami HD Brings Its Wonderful Art To PC

A Steam page has revealed the release date for the high-definition PC release of Okami.

October 5, 2017 1:25 PM

Okami HD release dates for Xbox One and PS4 were leaked by European retailers earlier this year. The Ready at Dawn developed action-adventure has enjoyed an extended life since its original release on PS2 in 2006, having been ported to Wii and updated for PS3. Now, a Steam page reveals that it will also be coming to PC in HD on December 12.

The Steam page reveals that Okami HD will be coming to the US/Europe first and arrive in Japan on December 13. The updated release will include a modern widescreen format and the original 4:3 ratio.

The original Okami was heralded for incredible visuals, completely outshining its peers on PS2 at the time. It adopted a design that looked like a classic Japanese painting come to life and not many games have been able to exhibit such incredible style and charm since.

  The fuck? For real? That is awesome. Can't wait to add Okami to my Steam library. That game deserves to be on PC.

  I actually wonder if the date difference is due to timezones? It could easily be launched in Japan on the 13th while being the 12th in the US/Europe.
