Overview
- UNSEEN showed a full gameplay reveal during PlayStation’s State of Play, with developer Ikumi Nakamura confirming the game is still in development and giving it a 2027 release window.
- The studio announced Kemuri will launch on PlayStation 5 and PC, reversing months of silence since the title’s 2023 teaser.
- At the core of play is the FOXWINDOW, a hand‑gesture ability that reveals yokai, and Possession Apparel, which lets players form contracts with yokai to wear their powers and change combat and movement.
- Kemuri supports single‑player and online three‑player co‑op and offers three hunter archetypes—katana hunter, bow hunter, and shaman—each tied to different playstyles and cooperative roles.
- The game is UNSEEN’s debut under Nakamura and leans heavily on a manga‑stylized, streetwear‑inflected aesthetic that blends urban fashion with folklore, a direction that could broaden the appeal of yokai action games.
