Platinum Games Scrubs Website, Removes Previously Announced Project G.G.

Project G.G., touted as "the powerful climax to the Hideki Kamiya superhero trilogy," might be canned. Over the weekend, Platinum Games apparently scrubbed its website, in the process removing any mention of over 10 games the studio had worked on or were developing--including Project G.G.

VGC reports that links to previous Platinum titles like Babylon's Fall and Madworld still work, but Project G.G.'s page just goes to the general Platinum website. Additionally, a blog post for Project G.G. fails to even open. There hasn't been any official update about the status of the game.

In early 2020, Platinum revealed Project G.G. as the first game to be both developed and published by the company. The title was inspired by Ultraman and showed a character enlarging themselves to fight against a Godzilla-like monster, also commonly referred to as a kaiju. "We'll be taking on new risks that we've never had to assume before as a contracted developer," said Kamiya at the time.

However, Kamiya departed Platinum in October 2023. The game director previously helmed Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101 (the previous superhero titles), as well as Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Okami. Speaking of which, Okami 2 was announced at The Game Awards in December, and Kamiya is returning to direct the action-adventure title for Capcom.

Another former Platinum employee, Jean Pierre Kellams, lamented the Platinum website alterations on X. Now a lead producer at Epic, Kellams stated that Platinum is "erasing its history" with the changes and it's "extremely regrettable."
