PlatinumGames states that it will change immensely as it enters a new era, marked by the assumption of Takao Yamanea former Nintendo executive and veteran of the video game industry, who has now become its vice president.
Yamane worked in Nintendo as director of sales and planning, but is now part of the leadership of the company behind it Bayonetta 3with Hideki Kamiya, vice president, and Atsushi Inaba, the current CEO. Over the past few months, the PlatinumGames management team has undergone several changes and the desire has been to bet on bigger and riskier projects so they don’t become known as the action games company and nothing else.
PlatinumGames doesn’t want to be known only for games like Bayonetta or Metal Gear Rising, it wants to expand game styles and in addition to titles like Babylon’s Fall, the company’s first live service game.
