At BitSummit Vol. 6 this past weekend, PlatinumGames’ Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba had a few words to share about their favorite games and some of the games they’re working on.

PlatinumGames is mostly known for work on licensed titles, but company head of development and producer Atsushi Inaba talked about its recent focus that involves creating its own IP and self-publishing.

With 2017 coming to an end, 4Gamer has gone up with the annual year-end talks with the developers from Arc System Works, Atlus, Capcom, Koei Tecmo, Sega, Spike Chunsoft, Square Enix, and many others.

Hideki Kamiya: I want to work on a Devil May Cry and Viewtiful Joe remake, or a true sequel for Okami. A cooperation with Dante (from Devil May Cry) and Bayonetta might also be fun.

This year is Platinum Games’ 10th anniversary since their founding in August of 2006, and the company is celebrating their birthday with a message on the official website and sweet wallpapers.

Bayonetta 2 released not too long ago, but the developers of our favorite sadistic witch are already hard at work on their next project.

“I chose Bingo for this job because he has a lot of experience writing for games that have a similar style to Bayonetta,” said supervisor Hideki Kamiya.

Bayonetta  developer PlatinumGames are developing an exclusive game for the Xbox One, titled Scalebound.

At the start of a new fiscal year, Japanese companies often hire new recruits, and PlatinumGames recently did the same.

PlatinumGames have updated their development blog with various pieces of art created by their artists in their free time.

PlatinumGames president Tatsuya Minami used to work at Capcom, like a lot of other Platinum staff members.

On the subject of their goals, Inaba and Minami say that PlatinumGames want to be a developer that talks big and then delivers on its promises.

“I was thinking—with our own money—about creating a PC title for Steam,” says PlatinumGames’ Atsushi Inaba.

This afternoon, PlatinumGames writer and International Coordinator, Jean Kellams, posted his thoughts on the state of Japanese games.

PlatinumGames’ two most recognized staff members share their philosophy on developing games and keeping things running at the studio.
