PlatinumGames, the development studio behind some incredibly popular titles such as the Bayonetta series, Nier: Automata, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, is known for releasing fast-paced action games that don't follow conventional game design concepts. Recently, the game studio gained a new vice president and CBO, previous Nintendo Licensing General Manager Takao Yamane. Following that appointment, Famitsu sat down with PlatinumGames to talk about the studio's future, and the upcoming title Project GG was also discussed.
First unveiled with a teaser trailer back in 2020, Project GG is the next title in Hideki Kamiya's superhero trilogy. Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101 are the other games in that trilogy, and while it isn't known how closely the two will be connected with Project GG, it seems the new game will at least build on the precedent set by its predecessors. Since an initial reveal, news on Project GG has been rather lacking. Platinum can't exactly be blamed for that, as it has likely had its hands full developing Bayonetta 3 for release later this year.

As well, it could be a big announcement for the convention's highly anticipated return following a few years of E3 being canceled or existing as a digital-only event.
