Okamiden's new protagonist: Chibiterasu the lil' wolf

1UP has summarized the Famitsu article about Okamiden (which, yes, means it's real). The DS sequel, produced by Ace Attorney Investigations'Motohide Eshiro and directed by Dino Crisis series staffer Kuniomi Matsushita, takes place a few months after the end of Okami, at which point demons return for some reason.

Instead of Amaterasu, the wolf being that comes down to help the village is Chibiterasu, a younger, less all-powerful wolf. Chibiterasu is helped by a partner character, the first of whom to be revealed is Kuninushi, the child of Susano from the first game. Chibiterasu will work with other partner characters throughout the game, each of whom can also be controlled independently.
