PlatinumGames, the developer behind the hit action series Bayonetta, is celebrating the franchise's 15th anniversary with a year-long celebration. Despite recent concerns surrounding the studio's future following key staff departures and the failure of Babylon's Fall, PlatinumGames assures fans that they are committed to creating new and exciting games.
Bayonetta ’s big birthday is here (PlatinumGames) The developer behind Bayonetta has promised to create games that will ‘surprise and delight’ following the departure of key staff members. PlatinumGames were once one of the most exciting developers in the games industry, releasing titles like Bayonetta , Vanquish, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
While the studio has still produced some great games in recent years, like 2019’s Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3, there has been concern around its future following the failure of 2022’s Babylon’s Fall and the departure of co-founder Hideki Kamiya in 2023. Kamiya, who directed the original Bayonetta, has since set up new studio Clover, which is working on a sequel to Ōkami. The majority of ‘around 25’ staff at Clover are comprised of his former colleagues from Platinum, who decided to leave the studio to join his new venture. The exit of key staff members led to some concern around Platinum’s future, but the studio has now posted a statement to announce plans for Bayonetta’s 15th anniversary. In a post on X, Platinum stated it had ‘a few things in store to celebrate’ the game’s 15th anniversary ‘so keep your eyes peeled’. A post on the studio’s website states the celebration will last ‘for one full year’. There’re no details on what this will involve but they’ve already released the first of a series of monthly calendar images, that are intended to be used as smartphone wallpaper. The studio also appeared to address concerns surrounding Platinum, adding: ‘Moving forward, we will continue to take on new challenges to create games that surprise and delight our fans. We look forward to your continued support of Bayonetta and PlatinumGames!’ https://twitter.com/platinumgames/status/1876073767564378490 The first Bayonetta was released in October 2009 in Japan, so technically it’s already had its 15th anniversary. Although the game didn’t launch in the West until January 201
