Another key difference is that while the protagonist of Aragami was a spirit made entirely of shadows, the hero of Aragami 2 will instead be a human ninja who was transformed by a curse into a supernatural being, who fights to protect his home of Rashomon Valley from the warlike Empire of Fire. While the combat will mainly focus on slashing and dodging, there will also be a handful of supernatural manoeuvres which you can use to defeat your opponents, which should make for some very satisfying death animations.

However, one of the biggest differences between Aragami 2 and its predecessor is that while the first game only allowed for stealth kills, the sequel will feature an actual combat system, so players will now be able to fight their enemies head on.

There will even be a co-op mode for up to three players, although how that will work with the stealth-based gameplay remains to be seen. So whether you prefer to reach your goal without taking a single life, or to stealthily assassinate every guard you encounter, it sounds like you will be able to enjoy Aragami 2 depending on your own unique play style. Once again inspired by Japanese mythology, Aragami 2 will offer more stealth-based gameplay across large open levels, with players once again being presented with multiple ways to achieve their objectives.
