Kamiya then 📖issued his own statement via his personal Twitter account a few hours later. It was "by no means an easy decision to make," Kamiya notes in the tweet below, but it's clear from the statements from both PlatinumGames and Kamiya that the veteran d🦋eveloper isn't done with making games just yet.

Kamiya founded PlatinumGames almost sixteen years ago in 2007, alongside fellow Resident Evil veteran developer Shinji Mikami, and fellow Devil May Cry developer Atsushi Inaba. Inaba is currently the president of PlatinumGames, while Mikami departed the dev♐eloper years prior to found Tango Gameworks.
What Kamiya's departure from PlatinumGames also means is that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Project GG has lost its director. The studio announced the new action game in 2020, with a boy transforming into a giant machine to fight a kaiju the size of Godzilla, but we've seen or heard nothing of the title whatsoeve💜r in the three years since.
"Project G.G. is a giant hero-esque title," Kamiya said at the time🐲, comparing the new game to the likes of Viewtiful Joe. Where a group of people would t𒀰ransform into one giant hero in the latter game, Project GG would supposedly focus on one hero transforming into an even bigger version of themselves.
