Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced that it plans to release Me and the Satan King in North America under the new title, Okage: Shadow King. The game's hero, a young boy named Stan, has his shadow possessed by the spirit of an evil king named Ari. However, Stan soon realizes that the spirit of Ari is weak and can be manipulated to follow his own commands. Thus, Stan forces Ari to join him on a quest to purge the world of Tenel of several other demons.
