Capcom's Motohide Eshiro, the director on Okamiden, has been talking about the future of the series and of God Hand, another one of Capcom's cult titles.

Eshiro stated that the future of the Okami franchise is entirely dependent on how well Okamiden does with gamers.

He said: "We're certainly willing to explore the option of another Okami game if the market is there for it. If people want it, we'll be pleased to deliver it. As for what hardware, it will depend entirely on what ideas we have and what the demands of the market are. We will pick the appropriate platform from there. If we have an idea that's perhaps better suited to one piece of than another, well make our choice based on that."

Eshiro also pointed to a possible future for off kilter title God Hand adding: "I personally am quite the fan of God Hand I thought it had really dynamic gameplay of focusing not on blocking but on constantly dodging and moving. It was really fun and refreshing, and it would be great to see that turned into a series. Once again, it boils down to demand how many people want it, what kind of ideas we have that would be fresh and make it worth exploring again, and we could come up with a plan that could fit the users' needs and the market's needs at the time."
