Creators of Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising leave PlatinumGames
Translated with AI from the Russian original.
PlatinumGames has faced a wave of departures among its lead developers. Among them are Takahisa Taura (Astral Chain), Yusuke Miyata (Bayonetta 3), Abebe Tinari (Bayonetta Origins), Kenji Saito (Metal Gear Rising), and Masaki Yamanaka (Anarchy Reigns, Resident Evil).
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.
