Japanese studio PlatinumGames had a lot of exciting announcements for its fans in 2020. First of all, The Wonderful 101 Remastered, which got crowdfunded via Kickstarter and is now headed to PC (Steam), PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in less than two months.
The second announcement was Project G.G., Hideki Kamiya's new project as well as the first owned and self-published IP of PlatinumGames. Considered the last game in Kamiya's so-called hero trilogy (after Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101), Project G.G. features a big hero possibly inspired by Ultraman fighting against huge Kaiju-like monsters.
The third news was the opening of a brand new PlatinumGames office in Tokyo, with the specific focus to develop live service games for the first time in the studio's history.
However, there is still one last announcement left and today, PlatinumGames informed fans that all will be unveiled on April 1st.
