Capcom Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce that it has collaborated with the National Bunraku Theatre and the traditional performing art of Ningyo joruri bunraku to release a new Bunraku performance video based on "Gi: Path of the Goddess", which will be released on the July 19th. In terms of product structure, the operating income of commodities worth between JPY 1 billion and 30 billion was JPY 401 million, JPY 1,288 million, and JPY 60 million, respectively.

"Gi: Path of the Goddess" is an original action-strategy drama set in a unique world of Japanese aesthetics, where players take on the role of the protagonist, Miko, and battle against the impurities that have surrounded a mountain village. During the day, players use their wisdom to purify the village and prepare for battle, while at night, they fight to subdue the attacking creatures and protect the shrine maiden.

Prior to the release of the game, an unusual collaboration was realized between the traditional Japanese performing art of Ningyo joruri bunraku, a designated UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and our latest technology. Experience a new kind of "Bunraku" that fuses tradition with modern technology, featuring puppets created specifically for this play, dancing against a background composed with CG. The play is an original story based on the prequel to the game, and features a performance by Kanjuro Kiritake, a holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure), who will play the role of a shrine maiden puppet, important character in the game. We aim to express the appeal of the Japanese aesthetic of the game through traditional performing arts, and to deliver the charm of Bunraku to users around the world through this visual production utilizing our media strength.

"Gi: Path of the Goddess" will be released on July 19th. Enjoy the unique world view developed using the techniques of traditional performing arts, as well as the prequel written specifically for this play.

Moving forward, we will continue to demonstrate our superior game development skills, create original game titles full of creativity, and respond to the expectations of our users.
