It seems like another game might have bitten the dust—PlatinumGames’ mysterious Project G.G., which many likened to an Ultra Man-inspired adventure, looks like it’s not moving forward.
If Project G.G. doesn’t ring any bells, you’re not alone. This game was announced way back in 2020, yet very little was revealed about it. The buzz around it dwindled further when the director, Hideki Kamiya, parted ways with the studio he helped establish in 2023. With his exit, fans began to wonder if the game would ever come to fruition. Right now, it appears that the answer is no. Swing by PlatinumGames’ official site, and you’ll notice a list of ten games they’ve worked on, including well-known titles like the Bayonetta series, Nier: Automata, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and the fresh announcement, Ninja Gaiden 4.
Interestingly, if you dig into the archives using the Wayback Machine, you’ll discover that PlatinumGames once displayed a lineup of 22 titles. This collection featured licensed hits like Transformers: Devastation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, and The Legend of Korra. It also included self-developed projects such as Madworld and the unfortunate Babylon’s Fall, all of which still retain their dedicated web pages despite not being listed anymore. Thanks to Eurogamer, we know Project G.G. was one of those removed from the roster. Unlike the others, it doesn’t even have a standalone page now—its URL simply reroutes you to the main homepage of PlatinumGames.
All signs point to Project G.G. being shelved for good, a move that doesn’t shock many given Kamiya’s absence from the studio for over a year. What exactly is PlatinumGames working on nowadays? A recent wave of staff departures has made that a bit murky. However, the recent announcement of the Ninja Gaiden game suggests that the studio isn’t shutting its doors just yet.
