Earlier this week, we reported that Capcom might possibly be working on a new installment in the Okami series, and barely a few days later, this rumor seems partly true. Only announced for release in Japan (scheduled for 2010) Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou, loosely translated as Okami Legend: The Small Sun, follows the same art style as the PS2 and Wii titles, and while it plays off in similar environments it is an all-new adventure set several months after the conclusion of the original where you follow a new, younger character. Obviously, gameplay is similar to the previous Okami titles with the DS stylus being used to draw your magical symbols.
