The information was confirmed by former studio vice president Hideki Kamiya in a fresh YouTube video. Officially, so far only Abebe Tinari has confirmed his departure – he moved to Housemarque. The others have merely hinted at leaving.
After leaving PlatinumGames in 2023, Kamiya founded the studio Clovers, where he is currently working on a sequel to Okami. Meanwhile, PlatinumGames is focused on Ninja Gaiden 4, which is being developed together with Team Ninja.
How the departure of key specialists will affect the studio’s future is currently unknown.
