In a recent interview with Japanese website
InsideGames, PlatinumGames President Kenichi Sato has revealed that they have big plans for the company this year, and that the studio is definitely planning on "
going all-out."
"
Last year, we said that 2019 would be a year where the curtain rises for a new stage for PlatinumGames. We’re a bit late on that, but I believe we’ll have several big announcements to deliver early in the new year, so please look forward to that. That’s a promise I’ll definitely keep," Sato stated.
The president of PlatinumGames also believes that it will be a great year for the studio thanks to the Tokyo Olympics, as all eyes will be set on the worldwide event.
"This year is the year the Tokyo Olympics will be held. I believe everyone around the world will be watching Japan. As a game studio representing Japan, this year we here are PlatinumGames are looking to go all-out, to get attention from fans around the world, and bring smiles to everyone."
Representative Studio Head at PlatinumGames, Atsushi Inaba, also explains that this year will be good for the studio, as he reveals that they want to make some big and small announcements to keep fans excited for what's to come.
"Starting early on in the year, I believe we’ll continue to roll out various announcements, big and small, throughout the year. The company, as well as me personally, will continue taking on new challenges, and I want to give it everything we’ve got."
Neither Sato nor Inaba specifically mentioned any titles that are currently in the works, but chances are that Bayonetta 3 will finally get an important update from the developers — especially since we've barely had any information about the game since it was announced in December of 2017, except for the fact that Bayonetta series creator Hideki Kamiya said development is going well. Fingers crossed.
