Atsushi Inaba, one of the current heads of the study, recognizes that the current staff they have is insufficient for the work they have.
In Platinum Games they recently announced that they would open a new studio in Tokyo, and it is only the beginning of an expansion plan for the company in order to work on more projects. This has been recognized by Atsushi Inaba, COO of the study, which ensures that they do not currently have the necessary staff to undertake everything they have in hand.
The ambitious future of Platinum
Recall: Project G. G., with Hideki Kamiya in the direction and announced this week is one of them. The other, the remastering of The Wonderful 101, in an already advanced state of development as it will arrive soon, but according to Inaba, they want to be able to work on even more projects.
"First of all, we don't have enough staff currently," Inaba says. "It's a good problem to have, but we get many job offers from other publishers, for example, something related to NieR Automata in collaboration with some IP of that editor, or make completely original games, but we have a limit of the projects that we can assume. So there are many that we have to refuse, and I think it would be better if we can increase our ability to work on more fun projects. "
"Platinum Games aims to become an environment where everyone can be proud to be a video game developer or make their contribution," said the CEO of the studio, Kenichi Sato. Meanwhile, Kamiya has responded in his own way to a question during PAX East about which IP he would like to return to work on. "Okami 2, Scalebound, Viewtiful Joe 3, Dante vs. Bayonetta, Devil May Cry 0 … I want to do them all, write to Capcom," said the peculiar creative.
