During its March 2024 Partner Preview, Xbox announced that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is launching for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC this year. The game will be available on day one on Xbox Game Pass.

Developed by Capcom, Path of the Goddess sees you play Soh, a masked warrior tasked with defending the villages around Mt. Kafuku. The game is divided into two different styles of play: Daytime and Nighttime. During the day, Soh must fight their way to trapped villagers and work to free them, recruiting additional fighters to the cause and creating more defenses for your home base. At night, Soh must rely on those defenses while fighting off hordes of enemy spirits. This adds an element of real-time strategy to what's otherwise an action-adventure game.

The Xbox Partner Preview showcased more of what this looks like in practice, including how battles against "Festering Seethe" will go. Festering Seethe are larger, tougher evil spirits that seem to act more like mini-boss battles, presenting opportunities for the action-adventure side of the game to really come into focus. More of Path of the Goddess will be shown off during a Capcom Highlights livestream on March 7.
