The Japanese team made the four announcements five, but this is still going to make the fans happy.

Recently, PlatinumGames became independent (The Wonderful 101 Remastered was published by them, and it’s one of the rare cases where Nintendo gave up its exclusivity, as the game was only on Wii U, but now, you can find it on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC), and Tencent, the Chinese tech giant, also invested into the company.

Kamiya (who now works on Project G.G., and he also supervises Bayonetta 3, as he was the director of the first game after all…) told VGC the following: „We want to reveal it at the right time, but what we can say at the moment is that this was always intended as the ‘Platinum Four,’ so I think that the expectations should be for something extra. That being said, this is something that we’ve had in the works for a while.” The announcement was planned to happen in 2020, but since then, the Platinum 4 website was also updated to 2021.

„We wanted to get this out a little sooner, but then the coronavirus happened, which I know is a common excuse, but we hope that when we can start talking about it, it will bring a smile to our fans’ faces and we’ll get a good reaction like, ‘ah, we love those Platinum guys!’ If we had to choose one end of the spectrum, then I’d probably say it’s something a little smaller in scale. But it’s still something I’m hoping fans will get a kick out of,” Kamiya added.

Here are the four announcements so far: 1 – The Wonderful 101 Remastered; 2 – PlatinumGames to self-publish Project G.G.; 3 – PlatinumGames opened a studio in Tokyo (with live service focus); 4 – an April fools’ joke. (This is why the Platinum 4 is Platinum 5 at this rate.) We should learn shortly what the team is preparing then.
