PlatinumGames’ vice president and co-founder, Hideki Kamiya, has revealed that he will be leaving the studio after 17 years. His departure, scheduled for October 12th, is a result of his personal beliefs. While this decision was not an easy one, Kamiya assures fans that he will continue creating in his own unique style. Although his future plans remain unknown, his impressive portfolio makes him a highly sought-after director in the industry.
Kamiya’s departure raises questions about the fate of his current project at PlatinumGames, Project GG. The game has been shrouded in silence since Kamiya mentioned a first look in 2022, which never materialized. However, it is likely that Kamiya will resurface in the gaming industry, either joining a new studio or establishing his own. His experience and talent make him an attractive prospect for any team.
Before co-founding PlatinumGames, Kamiya worked at Capcom, contributing to renowned titles such as Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, and Okami. His promotion to vice president at PlatinumGames last year adds further intrigue to his departure. Speculation will undoubtedly arise regarding the reasons behind his exit and what his next move will be.
Overall, Kamiya’s departure marks the end of an era at PlatinumGames. Fans can expect exciting developments from him in the future, as he continues to create in his signature Hideki Kamiya style.
