Platinum Games has announced that it is working on developing an original game from the studio as the title is being called Project G.G. The studio has mainly been known for partnering with other publishers. However, the head of the studio Hideki Kamiya has said that the studio is now developing a new game that will also be published by them.
An official press release by Platinum Games announced the new project, while also emphasizing that the studio will fully own the publishing rights.
Unlike any of the games we’ve made so far, it’s going to be a 100 percent Platinum Games title. For everything from its setting and characters, to its game design and story, to how it’s promoted–Platinum Games is in full control.
Platinum Games also released a teaser trailer that was captioned saying it is a “powerful climax to the Hideki Kamiya superhero trilogy.” The previous two games that were directed by Kamiya were The Wonderful 101 and Viewtiful Joe.
As a creator, it’s hard not to think of my games as my children. After all, it takes a lot of hard work to raise them up, and a lot of love, too. However, once they’re done, any choices about them are entirely out of my hands. So, for example, no matter how many times people tell me, ‘You should make a sequel to this game,’ or, ‘I’d love to see it on that console,’ there’s nothing I can do about it.
Kamiya is known for working on major titles like Devil May Cry and Resident Evil. He was also the mastermind behind Scalebound which was later canceled. In an interview with Gematsu, Kamiya said that game is in the early stages of development, and while it will feel like an action game, it will not solely focus on just action.
