Capcom debuted a free digital theater performance created in partnership with Japan’s historic National Bunraku Theatre for the upcoming release of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, available across Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and Steam starting on Friday, July 19th 2024. Bunraku is a collaborative art synchronizing narrative recitation, music, and puppetry in performance, and Master Puppeteer KIRITAKE Kanjuro, performed a new play called, "Ceremony of the Deity: The Maiden's Destiny," which serves as a prequel to the brand-new IP.
Based in Osaka, Japan, the National Bunraku Theatre presents various traditional Japanese performances and is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
Special puppets were created to represent Soh and the Maiden, the two protagonists of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, using traditional techniques from the Bunraku artists. KIRITAKE Kanjuro brings them to life, making them dance against a vibrant backdrop crafted with modern technology, offering a new Bunraku experience that combines both tradition and innovation. Viewers can become captivated as KIRITAKE Kanjuro translates this eccentric drama from the game into real life using these unique techniques.
Along with this collaboration video, new artwork is now available to celebrate the release of Gami: Path of the Goddess.
The demo is still free to play across all platforms for players to experience a preview of the unique story of Soh and Yoshiro.
Pre-orders are also available now with exclusive bonuses including two Mazo Talismans (i.e., special equipment) for Soh, and a digital mini artbook containing concept art for the game.
