Launching globally on July 19, 2024, and available for pre-order now with exclusive pre-order items, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess features mythical Japanese-inspired elements and visually captivating gameplay as players embody the protagonist Soh to make strategic decisions and use ritualistic dancing sword actions to protect the Maiden Yoshiro and bring peace back to the villages of Mt. Kafuku.

Using a day/night cycle and creatively blending multiple gameplay genres from action adventure to real-time strategy to tower defense, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess will test players’ strategic and real-time decision-making abilities. During the day, you’ll explore the village, purify the “defiled” villagers, assign those villagers various roles, and choose where to place them in order to best protect the Maiden Yoshiro. During the night, the sinister Seethe emerge to attack the mountain. Upgrade villager roles to get yourself more support and issue commands to the villagers while fighting alongside them to defeat the Seethe and purify each village. Players can freely reset upgrades and redistribute them to other roles, and even upgrade Soh with new attacks and abilities in order to customize their strategies however they want.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is available for pre-order now (Xbox, PlayStation, Steam) and launches worldwide on July 19, 2024.
