Purge the defilement and protect the Maiden with Capcom’s newest genre-blending action and strategy game

Check out our review for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Review here!

London (July 19, 2024) Experience a new tale with Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess™ now available worldwide across Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Steam! This Japanese folklore-inspired action strategy game introduces players to the luscious land of Mt. Kafuku, a beautiful mountain home to peaceful villagers and animals. What was once full of life, nature, and vibrant beauty is now overtaken by an ominous defilement and the Seethe, throwing those who live on it into turmoil. Sway, slash, and strategise your way to the Torii gates as Soh, the guardian whose goal is to protect the mountain’s Maiden Yoshiro from the sinister Seethe. The Maiden of the mountain is blessed with sacred powers that purge the defilement through majestic, ceremonial kagura dances.

For more information on Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, visit the official website and X page.

With this brand-new IP brought to life by the Capcom RE ENGINE, players can explore a fresh take on the tactical action genre rich with striking visual designs, various Japanese cultural inspirations, and a unique day to night gameplay cycle. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess features a ton of new and fresh gameplay elements, including:

• A Unique Day/Night Cycle: During the day, players explore the village, purify the “defiled” villagers, assign those villagers various roles, and choose where to place them in order to best protect the Maiden Yoshiro and prepare for sundown. When night falls, Soh and the villagers must work together to protect Yoshiro against the hordes of emergent Seethe as they spill out of the Torii gates that are spread throughout the mountain.
• Encountering Diverse Villagers: As residents of Mt. Kafuku, the villagers need to be saved from the defilement and assigned various roles so they can aid in the battle against the Seethe. Learn the different characteristics of each villager role, including Woodcutters, Ascetics, Archers and more to prepare the villagers for a fierce fight. Players can also upgrade villager roles to get more support and issue commands to the villagers while fighting alongside them to defeat the Seethe and purify each village.
• Taking on the Sinister Seethe: When night falls, the Seethe will emerge from the other world. As they target the Maiden with a variety of terrifying attacks, it is up to the protagonist Soh to use dance-like sword techniques and command the villagers. Decide whether you should focus on close-quarters melee attacks yourself or support tactics. Test your strategic abilities with the constantly changing battlegrounds and different Seethe variants.

With the game now available, Capcom has released additional content so players can delve deeper into the mysterious world of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

• Okami™ Collaboration Content – Following the demo release, players took part in a special challenge as a part of the Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and Okami collaboration. Together, players impressively obtained 1 billion crystals and found 15 hidden Lucky Mallets, unlocking exclusive Okami content including the Amaterasu costume and weapon for Soh, the Waka costume for Yoshiro, and a special Okami collab soundtrack. Thanks to the players who played the demo, these special gifts are now available across all platforms for everyone!
• National Bunraku Theatre Collaboration – Capcom released a digital theater collaboration with Japan’s historic National Bunraku Theatre to present a performance depicting the prequel of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Bunraku is a collaborative art that blends together narrative recitation, music, and puppetry in performance. Master Puppeteer and Japan’s National Treasure KIRITAKE Kanjuro performed a brand-new play called, “Ceremony of the Deity: The Maiden’s Destiny,” which is a prequel to the brand-new IP. Special puppets were created to represent Soh and the Maiden using traditional techniques from the Bunraku artists. To watch the play and become truly immersed in the story of Soh and Yoshiro, visit the official Capcom YouTube channel.

• Official Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Theme Song – The game’s theme song, “Kunitsu-Gami,” sung by ermhoi and composed by Chikara Aoshima, brings together themes of defilement, spirits, and sins that are reflected throughout the story of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Created with the inspiration of a children’s song based on the in-game universe, this song consists of meticulously crafted rhythmic patterns, and unique arrangements. Check out the official theme song here.
• Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creating Miniatures – The development team for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess meticulously crafted the game with the goal of bringing their vision of a new, Japanese folklore-inspired IP to life. They took a unique approach into producing the stunning visuals in the game by creating miniature replicas of the villages and buildings and digitally scanned them into the game, and even pyrotechnics were used for reference for effects. To learn more about this unique and intricate process, visit the official X page which will be uploading various behind-the-scenes episodes capturing the making of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
