I would say too that these 4 titles will be self-pulbished and also new announcements, so anything related to Bayonetta seems very unlikely to me

Nintendo fans: When is Direct?
Joseki: next week... in game magazines...
What makes it seem that way unless I missed a leak or something
FWIW, the 4 are described as "new challenges" for Platinum. I don't think that has to mean only self published, maybe challenges from a game design perspective too.
I can easily see a "new challenge" being Bayo 3 considering they've said they want it to be a turning point for their studio, right?

it might come to Switch, but nintendo wouldn't be involved here. NIntendo doesn't let others announce games on their own channels
Just looking at the calendar, is all. Nothing concrete, but those dates coincide with an upcoming Direct.
Of course this may not even mean anything.
I truly, truly hope the remaining three are all new IPs. The world needs more of P*'s originality.
Like a Devil May Cry 3 Switch announcement coincided with the Smash reveal for Fighter Pass 5.
The Direct probably isn't on the 27th. It wouldn't make sense to hold a Direct when the gaming media is preoccupied with PAX East coverage.
Good point. A few rumors had lead me to believe there would be a direct on the next Wednesday or Thursday. We'll see what happens.
Are any of you expecting this game to 'not' be on the Switch? 🤔
But we also don't need P* working on like 5+ new games at once. Bayo 3 has been announced since 2017, it's time to show it :/
Yes, because I'm expecting it to be a mobile title
/s
(Honestly, I got nothing against the Switch. As long as all games release everywhere, and don't skip PC, I'm all for it.)
I'm 50/50
Depends on my mood
I'm feeling pretty good so I'll say yes today
^Precisely what I was speculating.
However, confirmation that there will actually be a Direct next week still hasn't been established apparently. Not sure why I even had my calendar marked for the 26th. 😄
The ending of the new Mega64 video, it's tie into the Wonderful 101 Kickstarter, the Platinum announcement for the 27th, Kamiya/ Platinum holding a panel at PAX East on the 29th (and Mega64 is going to PAX as usual) all has me wondering what's being announced next week.
A new Kamiya game?
A new Kamiya game?
I see what you mean, but none of their new projects would hinder B3. They were confirmed by Inaba to be AA-tier and self-published. B3 is a golden goose AAA level project funded by a platform holder -- that will have all the resources and time that it needs. Our Umbra Witch will continue to dance in style, Phendrift.🙂
Honestly I'm guessing it's a new Kamiya game. It's been directly said before Platinum has two new IPs in the work within the last couple years, I feel one of these is going to be revealed as this Platinum 4 thing. I've noticed they've been specifically shining a lot of light on Kamiya with the Wonderful 101 Kickstarter and things, I do take Kamiya flying to see Mega64 as a sign they may be at their PAX panel which is two days after this reveal. I imagine he'd go there to talk about a new game if he was directing it.
So my honest guess is this next reveal is a new IP directed by Kamiya.
I hope it's Kamiya's next game. If it is then that means it's probably a fairly big project.
A torrent of excitement came over me by the time I got to your last sentence. Would be awesome if this turns out to be the case. Everything you said lines up perfectly.
I hope so. Kamiya is one of my favorite directors and the cancelation of Scalebound ranks up there with Mega Man Legends 3's in personal disappointments.
My collection of games he designed, wrote or directed (disregard Okamiden). I want to add Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble and the Switch port of the Wonderful 101 to it-
Not up to Platinum, since they aren't the owners of the IP.
You'd have to ask Capcom for that one.
I hope so, but them shining light on Kamiya with W101 isn't surprising, that game is his baby, even more so than Bayo, he threw his all into that game. The Iwata Talks with Kamiya about W101 showed how personal that particular game is to Kamiya. I mean he is literally in the game.
My guess for quite some time now has been Platinum Man by Kamiya so we'll see soon enough ! :D
Damn, I love Okami so much. "Reset" plays in my head every time I see this game. Might need to replay it again soon!
I would love this to be true, but didn't he take on a different role within the company? Not that that would preclude him from directing his own game but I thought he Kinda moved up the ladder and would only be overseeing things kind of like Mikami.
With the reveal of #2 only a day away I was expecting this thread to filled with more hype and speculation!
It has to be something on the same level as or higher than the Wonderful 101 Remaster, right?
I'm guessing for the next three:
- another surprise remaster (MGRising)
- exciting sequel (Astral Chain or Neir)
- Bayonetta 3 re-reveal with a proper trailer

About a year ago it was announced that Platinum was working on two new IPs which should be self-published and probably of AA size. That's likely what will be announced in Famitsu.
They're just telling you to look at the stars on the website as one of them shows the date for the next reveal, there is no hint here.
2 years ago they already mentioned those projects. And yeah they're definitely not teasing anything Bayonetta related or any game owned or published by other companies with this Platinum4 site.

I'm guessing it's none of those.
Considering they've said that they more often want to self-publish and are working on two original games that they own the IP of, it seems likely that all of these announcements are games they're putting out on their own.

I know there's no real chance of Okami 2 but someone mentioned it and now I cannot get that idea out of my head.
It is not going to be anything another company has a hand in (nier, astral chain, bayonetta 3 and mgr)
The new challanges makes me think it's not all new IPs but just things they have never done before, so I can see sequels from other publishers being part of this project.
My 2 cents are on 2 new mid budget new IPs (one directed by Kamiya) and Bayonetta 3. I think Nier is gonna be in house at Square, Capcom doesn't care about Okami and Konami is done with MGS. Also Astral Chain sequel was probably already greenlit considering how well it sold but it's way too soon to talk about it.
Their first project was literally a Nintendo IP.

And Nintendo isn't publishing it. Platinum's doing the Wonderful 101 remaster on their own, all Nintendo did was give them permission to do so.
For all we know Bayonetta 3 can be revealed in the next Direct and then added to the list. There is no need for it to be revealed by Platinum.
Still, my guess is a mobile game next. If it was something interesting or console related I think we would have got insiders hinting at it already like we got for TW101.
Unless it was a Shenmue 3 type of situation. Like if they got the rights and go ahead to make a Viewtiful Joe 3 while Capcom was hands off and not funding it.
It's still a game Nintendo has a hand in, being their game.
I just can't see it being 4 new projects. That's definitely too much work for Platinum.
Bayonetta 3
Babylon's Fall
TW101 remaster
3 new IP
A almost sure Astral Chain sequel
That's 7 projects in development at the same time, 8 if they also got the Nier: Automata sequel.
