DIRECTORS MESSAGE
Hello, everyone. PlatinumGames chief game designer Hideki Kamiya here.

Its my honor today, at long last, to announce an all-new, all-original project from PlatinumGames. In the fourteen years since we founded this company, weve worked towards the dream of making and releasing a game based on a Platinum intellectual property. Now, were finally stepping up to that starting line.

What makes this new title different from what weve done before? Let me explain a bit, because Im sure youll agree that this is a giant step for PlatinumGames!

Weve made a wide variety of games throughout our history, sometimes based on existing properties, like NieR:Automata; sometimes wholly original stories, like Bayonetta and ASTRAL CHAIN. Our work has found a core of passionate fans who trust us to deliver high-quality action games.

But PlatinumGames has thus far only been a developer. That means we make the games, and thats it. All of our titles up until how have been made under contracts, with cooperation and funding from the publishers who distribute them.

Of course, everyone at Platinum and I are extremely grateful for the relationship that weve made with all of you through the games weve made so far. But ultimately, all of those games belong to publishers. Any and all decisions about how those games are promoted, how their content is used, and so on, are entirely up to the publisher.

As a creator, its 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 theyre 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, Id love to see it on that console, theres nothing I can do about it.

Which brings us to Project G.G. (thats just a working title, by the way). Project G.G. is different. Unlike any of the games weve made so far, its going to be a 100% PlatinumGames title. For everything from its setting and characters, to its game design and story, to how its promoted PlatinumGames is in full control.

Of course, that has its downsides, too. Well be taking on new risks that weve never had to assume before as a contracted developer. Having full control over the Project G.G. IP gives us a ton of freedom, but also a ton of responsibility. Still, I think we can harness that sense of responsibility and turn it into motivation to make Project G.G. the best game it can be.

Like I said before, with Project G.G., were stepping up to a starting line. The finish line is still a long way away. But I know Im looking forward to running the race! I hope youll cheer us on.

And if youd like to join us at Platinum as we start out on this new endeavor, I sincerely hope youll take a look at our jobs page and see if theres a position thats right for you.

On behalf of the Project G.G. team and all of PlatinumGames, thank you for your support!

babylons fall or whatever was trash.

Isn't this just for Babylon's Fall; one of the worst games ever made?

GG is meant to be the cap on the "Japanese Hero" trilogy that Platinum loosely has.

Viewtiful Joe is the "lone hero".
Wonderful 101 is the "team of heroes".
GG will be "giant hero".

thanks.

I thought it might be a third in the Viewtiful Joe series, but I forgot about Wonderful 101.

They are taking too much projects at once again? I thought this is why the drop in quality happens.

Erm, project gamer gate?!?

Project G.G. will be self published and will be physical and retail. Official reveal next year around June (maybe E3?).
