Last September, Hideki Kamiya, the legendary director behind Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil 2, and many other titles, has confirmed that he will be leaving PlatinumGames, a studio he helped found. Although the developer has already mentioned his reasons behind this decision, In a recent interview she shared more information about what took her down this path.
In a recent interview with IGN, Kamiya revealed that this is one of the reasons he left Platinum Games I wasn’t happy with the direction the studio took.. Let us remember what they just went through Fall of Babylon, a game as a service that failed miserably Here is what he commented:
“My work with Platinum Games was based on a relationship of trust with the company. I decided to leave because I felt the direction the company was taking was different from what I believed in as a developer. Without that element of trust I would not have continued working there, So I left, so I could continue working in what I thought was the right way.
I don’t think of games as products, but as works of art. I want to put my art into games and offer games that only Hideki Kamiya can make, so that players can enjoy Hideki Kamiya games as they are. “I’ve decided to leave the company and forge my own path, to continue making games that reflect the developers who created them.”
with this, Kamiya also mentioned that she wanted to explore and make her own way, so leaving Platinum Games seemed like the most logical decision. Although at the moment we do not know what his next project will be, it is noted that, together with Shinji Mikami, he plans to reveal his future as early as 2024, which will certainly surprise more than one fan of his game.
In related matters, Kamiya talks about Viewtiful Joe and Okami’s future. Similarly, the same was said about the later chapter of Bayonet.
Editor’s Comment:
Kamiya is a director who focuses on the single-player experience, and if Platinum Games plans to move away from that to make a title like this. Fall of Babylon, it’s no surprise that the manager chose to leave the company he helped found. Let’s hope to hear more about her soon.
