During the Partner Preview event in March 2024, Xbox thrilled gaming enthusiasts by revealing the imminent release of Capcom’s much-anticipated game, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, scheduled to hit Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC platforms later this year.
The added excitement comes with the announcement that the game will be available on day one through Xbox Game Pass.
In Path of the Goddess, players step into the role of Soh, a mysterious masked warrior entrusted with the duty of safeguarding the villages nestled around the formidable Mt. Kafuku.
The gameplay unfolds in two distinct phases: Daytime and Nighttime. In the daytime, Soh embarks on a mission to liberate trapped villagers, recruiting fellow warriors and fortifying the home base against impending threats.
As night falls, the game transforms into a test of strategic prowess, as Soh must rely on the defenses erected during the day to fend off hordes of malevolent spirits, introducing a real-time strategy element to the action-adventure experience.
The Xbox Partner Preview event provided a tantalizing glimpse into the gameplay dynamics, showcasing intense battles against formidable foes known as “Festering Seethe.”
These larger, more resilient evil spirits promise mini-boss-like encounters, enriching the action-adventure aspect of the game.
For those eager to delve deeper into the world of Path of the Goddess, a dedicated Capcom Highlights livestream on March 7 promises to announce more captivating details.
Director Shuichi Kawata, in a statement to Xbox Wire, expressed the team’s excitement about this venture. Kawata, known for his work on Shinsekai: Into the Depths, released four years ago, acknowledged the distinct blend of action and strategy genres in Path of the Goddess.
The game draws inspiration from various facets of Japanese culture, creating a unique gaming experience. As the development nears its final stages, the team is dedicated to delivering the best possible gaming adventure.
Kawata shared,
“We are currently in the final stages of development, and the team is working hard to be able to deliver the best experience this game can offer, so we hope you look forward to it.”
