President Kenichi Sato and studio head Atsushi Inaba spoke to Inside Games about the new year. Kenichi Sato referred to games such as Astral Chain and NieR: Automata. Both of these games are being considered as a success due to their high critic score.
“Starting early on in the year, I believe we’ll continue to roll out various announcements, big and small, throughout the year.” Atsushi Inaba
Sato also said that this year is very important because of the Tokyo Olympics. Many people around the world will be watching, so they want to go all-out and bring smiles to the fans and everyone else interested in their games.
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 [laughs]. Kenichi Sato
Personally, I enjoyed playing several games from PlatinumGames and their upcoming game Babylon’s Fall looks interesting. I would also love to see a sequel to Vanquish. We will make sure to let you know on any further developments.

Thanks Siliconera and Inside-Games.
Chris was born in the early 80’s along with the very birth of home gaming. After spending many maaany drachmas on arcades, his father decided to buy him a PC instead of going bankrupt. He lived through the advancing and development of the gaming industry, having played TONS of games on all platforms. He is always honest and will never hesitate to give his true opinion on a game no matter what. Loves stealth games and dislikes microtsansactions, DLC and pre-ordering…who doesn’t after all?!

don’t forget they are self publishing now that they got chunk of money from tencent. 😛
Good team, my favorite games from them are Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising.
Who’s the childish toxic f uck downvoting every single comment here?
I didn’t say anything wrong to be downvoted.
Amazing 3 sentence article Chris. Peak gaming journalism. Your posts never cease to amaze me.
You are welcome!
Need Vanquish 2, Bayonetta 2 and 3 on PC
Chris Kuntouras being a good boy and not making up the news today, just reporting it. Good doggie.
“Starting early on in the year, I believe we’ll continue to roll out various announcements”
Start by announcing a long overdue first update for NieR: Automata which, despite being nearly 3 years old, hasn’t ever received a single patch. I’d buy more of their games if they didn’t treat their paying customers with such contempt.
*crying in the corner
Wonder how long it will take them to realize that treating PC gamers like garbage isn’t in their best interest.
Square Enix is the publisher in that case, whereas Platinum were hired to do the wetwork. If Square Enix don’t budget in post-launch support (like Sega does) then Platinum can’t really do anything about it other than, I guess, working for free?
Well… who do you think is most to be blamed for that besides the devs/publisher? THE Piece of schitt gamers that put up with this mess and then REp it to SCHITTS. Feast your eyes on the reason why this game never got one patch. Even though the game cannot run native full screen/whatever resolution without a mod, which is just a disgrace. it still manages to get rated VERY POSITIVE. Why would they patch ANYTHING if to the consumers the game runs PERFECTLY, even though IT DOESN’t and NEVER DID. I do not understand why this happened, just look at this mess.

Oh boy! They’re in bed with Tencent…
