PlatinumGames will unveil its final surprise April 1st

Japanese powerhouse studio PlatinumGames has teased the final news of their Platinum4 news stream for April 1st. Come next week, fans of the cult developer will receive the last announcement of the exciting future for the studio.

2020 is poised to become a major year for PlatinumGames. The creators of some of the most beloved action games of the past decade are trying to spread their wings and become a major player in the gaming scene next-gen.

To reach these lofty goals, the studio has been releasing important new steps for the company’s future as part of the Platinum4 campaign. It started with arguably an eye-catching announcement of a multiplatform remaster of the Wii U exclusive The Wonderful 101.

It was followed by an exciting new game announcement with Project G.G. A next-gen giant monster action game reminiscing of the Godzilla and Super Sentai movies. The project is still in heavy development and is slated to come out for next-gen.

Coinciding Project G.G., PlatinumGames is also expanding as a company with PlatinumGames Tokyo. The goal is to become a publisher for smaller studios and also create an entirely in-house game engine. This will be powering the studio’s future games and enable a custom-tailored tool to realize the designer’s ideas in the best way possible.

On April 1st, the final piece of Platinum4 will be shared with the public according to a new tease. It remains to be seen what the announcement will be. Is it another company-oriented news? Could it even be yet another entirely new game? Or another much-wanted game port from the developer’s deep library of titles? After all, rumors of Bayonetta 2 and Astral Chain coming to PC and more consoles have been heavily discussed after PlatinumGames embraced a multiplatform company strategy. We hope it won’t just be an April’s Fools’ Day joke.
