Rumours abound this morning that publisher could be planning some kind of sequel or follow-up to critically acclaimed masterpiece Okami. The firm has filed a trademark for 'Okamiden', according to Siliconera.

Original developer Clover has now closed, reverting the rights for the series to Capcom, while the version - developed by Ready at Dawn - will be released in this winter after wowing western markets last year.

Okami is one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time, blending Japanese calligraphy with water colour visuals and epically vast gameplay in a rich mythical Japan.

We'll do our best to find out more on this.
