PlatinumGames seems to be bleeding talent left and right. Back in September 2023, the Japanese studio lost its co-founder Hideki Kamiya, who is now working for Capcom on the sequel to Okami.
What's more, four other key figures from the Japanese company have reportedly packed their bags, including Takahisa Taura, director of Astral Chain. Kenji Saito (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance), Masaki Yamanaka (Anarchy Reign) and Abebe Tinari (Bayonetta Origins).
According to RPGSite, Platinum Games has seen several of its projects cancelled recently, which could have led to the departures mentioned above. The studio has yet to comment on the matter, and it's difficult to say anything about the future at present.
