Platinum Games expands by opening new Tokyo studio

Platinum Games has announced a new, Tokyo-based studio that will help it “expand into new genres and styles of play.”

“PlatinumGames was founded in 2006 with the goal of spreading smiles and surprises all over the world. Since then, we’ve done our best to create home console games overflowing with originality, with player satisfaction as our top priority,” Kenichi Sato, President and CEO, said in a statement.

“Fourteen years of hard work later, we’re proud to be regarded the world over as one of the foremost Japanese game developers, by gamers and fellow creators alike. I’m always humbled when I visit game studios abroad and our peers there tell me they’re fans of PlatinumGames.”

Platinum Games recently announced Project GG, a title that reminds us properties like Ultraman and Ant-Man. This is the third of four planned announcements since the developer received a large investment from Tencent.
