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.

Japan-based master developers Skeleton Crew and their apprentices Devolver Digital have revealed Forestrike, a tactical kung fu game where repetition is the key to success. The game is set to launch in 2025, but lucky BitSummit attendees will have the chance to sample an early demo of the game this weekend.  

As a martial artist, named Yu, you embark on a journey across the country to free the Emperor from an evil Admiral’s influence. Adopting techniques from one of five unique Masters, each battle presents a puzzle that must be solved using your mind as well as your fists.

Yu encounters many foes on his path to the capital, and he is always outnumbered, but he has a secret weapon: the Foresight, a meditative technique that allows him to mentally perceive fights over and over until he finds a sequence of movements that allows him to overcome the odds.

Once ready, our hero must fight in reality, where losing means starting everything over, but progress is permanent. Winning doesn’t always mean he will emerge from each encounter unscathed, but the further he travels, the stronger he will become.

Forestrike is the latest creation from Skeleton Crew, the team behind 2021’s Olija, also published by Devolver, and continues the studio’s unique artistic style, combat and fantasy-based storytelling.

Forewarned is Forearmed
The Foresight, a distinctive game mechanic that lets players experiment without consequences before fighting for real – and win or die trying. Forestrike’s roguelike game loop generates unique runs and encounters every time, so adaptation and improvisation are crucial to progress. 

Visceral Kung Fu Combat
Always outnumbered, learn to dispatch mobs of brutal enemies with poise and efficiency using everything at your disposal. Upgrade and customize your movesets with techniques from your chosen Masters to help you outwit your opponents in fierce, puzzle-like battles.

Handcrafted Fantasy
Journey through a visually striking fantasy world inhabited by unique characters, vicious enemies and magical revelations. Intricate pixel art landscapes form an atmospheric backdrop to handcrafted animation and characters.

AS ANIME GROWTH CONTINUES Anime Fans to get First Peek at Crunchyroll’s New Look and Feel at SDCC Along with Crunchyroll Concert Series Featuring LiSA and the One Piece25th Anniversary: Symphonic Voyage Presented in Collaboration with Toei Animation

Watch the Brand Evolution video below

Sydney, Australia (July 19, 2024) – Crunchyroll, the ultimate brand for all things anime, is unveiling a new brand identity today. The new look, feel, and sound will reflect the joy that anime brings to fans, tapping into an ethos of fun and celebration.

Crunchyroll continues to bring anime to fans in all the ways they want it across streaming, theatrical, events, games, music, news, consumer products, collectibles, and more. Central to Crunchyroll’s growth has been a focus on connecting fans and creators in celebration of their shared passions.

Starting on July 26 with San Diego Comic-Con, the updated and recharged Crunchyroll brand identity will be rolled out across all fan touchpoints of the organization over the next year.

The updated brand identity includes a modernized logo with a balanced eye symbol and revamped wordmark; a new font set called Crunchyroll Atyp that blends classic and modern elements for improved readability; and a vibrant color system featuring orange, black, white, and taupe to reflect anime’s dynamic nature. The new glyph system boasts over 139 anime and manga-inspired characters, adding depth and personality. A new seven-second audio-visual mnemonic captures the immersive Crunchyroll experience with anime-inspired sound design and playful elements. Collaboration and co-creation with Japanese artists on new textures and patterns further enhance the brand’s authenticity and immersive storytelling.

Fans will first experience the new Crunchyroll look and feel at San Diego Comic-Con, where the brand evolution will be emblazoned across the Rady Shell concert venue in celebration of the Crunchyroll Concert Series. Giving fans even more ways to express and celebrate their love for anime and Japanese pop culture, the two-day event will feature J-Pop sensation LiSA and hyperpop genius Alice Longyu Gao, as well as the One Piece 25th Anniversary: Symphonic Voyage concert in collaboration with Toei Animation, celebrating the iconic series’ 25th anniversary.

Additionally, the new brand identity will also be showcased inside and outside the San Diego Convention Center. There, fans will get a chance to showcase their passion for anime by picking up a limited and fan-forward streetwear collection inspired by the new and refreshed Crunchyroll – designed by 2024 CFDA Fashion Fund finalist Sebastian Ami!

“As the number of ‘anime-curious’ people approaches the one billion mark, and anime continues to command a prominent place in popular culture, we wanted to evolve the Crunchyroll brand to appeal to a growing diversity of global fans without losing the core essence of what fans have loved about Crunchyroll along the way,” said Rahul Purini, President of Crunchyroll. “We believe this new brand evolution will encourage and welcome many anime fans to deepen their love for years to come.”

“A lot of attention to detail and meaning was embedded into all the unique elements of our updated look and feel. Whether it be the vibrancy of our new Crunchyroll orange or the audio mark inspired by anime’s unique sounds,” said Gita Rebbapragada, Chief Operating Officer of Crunchyroll, who also oversees marketing. “Our teams live and breathe anime, and we wanted to pour that passion into designing a brand that is purposely fit for legions of fans around the world – giving them space to deepen their love and further their emotional connection.”

Development of the new brand identity package was led by Crunchyroll’s Markus Gerdemann (Senior Vice President, Marketing) and Norman Rabinovich (Vice President, Creative Services).

Crunchyroll offers fans the ultimate anime experience, pairing the world’s largest dedicated anime streaming library of 50,000 episodes and more than 25,000 hours of anime series, music, and films with experiences across events, theatrical, gaming, ecommerce, and so much more.

Over the last year, anime – and thus Crunchyroll – has surpassed numerous milestones, achieved increased success and launched new fan-forward initiatives.
