Probably not another April Fool’s Day joke
PlatinumGames has expanded a bit with its teasing fifth revelation added to the “Platinum4” website. The Bayonetta developer notes that the mystery announcement is certainly “smaller in scope” than what the studio’s previous revelation revealed, but it’s something fans will “get a chance to do”.
“We want to announce it at the right time, but what we can say at the moment is that it was always intended as the ‘Platinum Four’, so I think the expectations for something extra should be,” said co-founder of Platinum said. Hideki Kamiya in a VGC interview. “That said, it’s something we’ve had in the works for a while.”
“We wanted to get it out sooner, but then the coronavirus happened, which I know is a common excuse, but we hope that if we can start talking about it, it will bring a smile to our fans’ faces and we” I will gets a good response like, ‘oh, we love those Platinum guys!’
It sounds like we all need to temper our expectations just a little for the incoming announcement, following previous revelations of The Wonderful 101 Remastered, Kamiya’s own kaiju fighter Project GG., the new Platinum studio in Tokyo, and April Fool’s gag Sol Cresta. Honestly, I do not think we are looking at a Bayonetta 3 launch date, but hopefully – regardless of the surprise – it will be a neat addition to the Platinum oeuvre.
