While we wait feverishly Bayonetta 3 for this year, hoping that no postponement is planned, things are moving internally on the side of PlatinumGames. Finally, in a fairly limited way, because even if the company changes CEO, nothing to confuse the whole structure, since it is Atsushi Inaba who now has full powers.
A new not-so-new figurehead
He therefore succeeds Kenichi sato, who stepped down in December 2021, having held that position for five years. However, he will remain on the board of directors as an advisor. Atsushi Inaba therefore becomes the CEO of the company, after having been vice-president of PlatinumGames. He was made famous through his work as a producer on licenses like Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Viewtiful Joe, Okami or Vanquish.
Atsushi Inaba then promises that the guideline of PlatinumGames, which is “ create innovative ways of playing Will not change, and that the studio will continue to focus on self-publishing, while promising many games that everyone can enjoy. In short, nothing very new under the sun for the moment, and on our side, we are going back to count the months that separate us from the release of Bayonetta 3.
