God Hand: A Revival in the Works?

A Cult Classic
God Hand, originally released in 2006, gained a cult following despite its commercial failure. The game’s unique blend of over-the-top action, humor, and stylish visuals set it apart from other titles in the genre.
A Second Chance

Fan Support
Mikami’s announcement has been met with overwhelming support from fans. Many believe that God Hand deserves a second chance and that a sequel could introduce the franchise to a wider audience.
Mikami’s Current Projects
While Mikami hasn’t provided any specific details about a potential God Hand sequel, he is currently working on Shadow of the Damned: Hella Remastered. This remastered version of the cult classic action-adventure game is scheduled for release in late 2024.
The Future of God Hand
It remains to be seen if Mikami will be able to secure the necessary funding and resources to develop a God Hand sequel. However, the overwhelming fan support suggests that there is a strong demand for the franchise’s return.
