Update: PlatinumGames has released the first trailer for its upcoming Project G.G., after it debuted in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine. You can watch the video below:

This is a big deal for PlatinumGames as it will own the intellectual property outright, meaning it's not being contracted by another company or publisher to make this title.


Original Article: PlatinumGames is keeping itself busy at the moment, and itā€™s revealed the next product in its prestigious pipeline: Project G.G. Not to be confused with the popular Girlsā€™ Generation song, development is being helmed by Devil May Cryā€™s Hideki Kamiya, and itā€™s described as the final entry in his ā€œheroā€ trilogy, following Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101. "Weā€™re going to go against the userā€™s expectations ā€“ in a good way," studio head Atsushi Inaba said of the game.

The title was revealed in the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, and the first artwork shows a boy transforming into a giant to fight a kaiju ā€“ or a huge monster for those not familiar with Japanese lingo. ā€œWeā€™re at the project start stage, and from here on weā€™ll be putting together the development team,ā€ Inaba continued, as translated by Gematsu. ā€œWeā€™re opening a 100-person studio in Tokyo, so weā€™re going to be recruiting talent. There are already about 15 people working there.ā€

Inaba added that the team wants to release the title on ā€œall existing platformsā€, although that will presumably include PlayStation 5 once this gets off the ground. It represents the second of four announcements by the Japanese developer, following The Wonderful 101 Remastered.
