Rumor: multiple PlatinumGames veterans may have left studio

PlatinumGames is known for being the studio behind the Bayonetta games, as well as titles such as The Wonderful 101 and Nier: Automata. Their most recent game, Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, was released a year ago. However, if a new rumor is to be believed, things at PlatinumGames may not be going well.

It has been discovered on Reddit last month that Kenji Saito, Takahisa Taura, Masaki Yamanaka and Abebe Tinari have all removed any mention of PlatinumGames on their social media accounts. Not only that, but Abebe Tinari has recently confirmed that he has moved, and it seems to be that he’s moved out of Japan entirely. Because of all this, there are suspicions from fans that PlatinumGames have lost multiple veterans. No official confirmation of any departures have been stated yet, so for now, it’s mainly just rumor and speculation. If there are any updates about this, we’ll let you know.
