Fans of PlatinumGames' titles have once again found themselves teetering between hope and skepticism as whispers circulate about the status of the mysterious Project G.G. announced back in 2020. With the departure of the illustrious Hideki Kamiya from PlatinumGames, the fate of this ambitious project is MIA, and the legendary dev himself wants players to demand answers.
Project G.G., a title still in its working stages, was unveiled to the world as PlatinumGames' first self-published endeavor, with Kamiya at the helm. It was not just another game; it was heralded as a spiritual successor to the beloved Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101, carrying the weight of expectation and the legacy of its forebears.
With a new studio in Tokyo gearing up and a team of a hundred professionals assembling, Project G.G. was a statement of intent, a glimpse into PlatinumGames' ambitious future. Much ado was warranted, considering how large the shoes it sought to fill were.
The initial teaser trailer, brief yet tantalizing, offered a glimpse into a world under siege by a colossal kaiju, with a lone hero rising - quite literally - to the challenge. Through the eyes of a faithful canine companion (who looks a lot like a young Hachiko), we witnessed the transformation of an ordinary man into a towering figure, ready to clash with the monstrous adversary amidst a crumbling city.
