This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine points to yet another new IP from Platinum Games and their Platinum 4 project. Here’s a short excerpt via Ryokutya:

A young boy, body wrapped in pale light, poses before a giant monster…!

Platinum Game’s first self-published and completely new IP!

Kamiya: I’m working as director on a completely new title.
Inaba: We’re going to betray everyone’s expectations on this– in a good way!
Kamiya: This will be a challenge that Platinum has never attempted before.

Kamiya: Similarly with the single-body transformations in Viewtiful Joe reminiscent of Kamen Rider, or the squads in The Wonderful 101, G.G. will have gigantic heroes.
Inaba: If we really had to put it in any given genre, it wold be ____ Action ____ (two words redacted!).
Kamiya: The action feeling is a really important aspect of the game, but I wouldn’t say it’s forced.

Inaba: At this point in time, we want to release it on all platforms.

Inaba: When we started making the plans, the development team kicked into gear.
We want to open a studio in Tokyo with about 100 people, so we’ll be looking for new talent. We have about 15 people thus far.

Kamiya: I’m kinda nervous because Taura beat me in the poll I started on Twitter asking “people you want to work with the most”.
Inaba: We can only take it as fact. (haha)

Inaba: There have been other proposals similar to our partnership with Tencent and I’ve heard many stories about Platinum losing its independence, but I turned these down because we don’t want to sell our freedom in exchange for stability.

There are still 2 new titles that have yet to be announced. Platinum 4 includes four new projects from Platinum Games.

Inaba: The last one is a secret. We’re going to make something interesting that lives up to the Platinum name. Please look forward to it!
