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 it’s revealed the next product in its prestigious pipeline: Project G.G. Not to be confused with the popular Girls’ Generation song, development is being helmed by Devil May Cry’s Hideki Kamiya, and it’s described as the final entry in his “hero” trilogy, following Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101. "We’re going to go against the user’s expectations – 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 – or a huge monster for those not familiar with Japanese lingo. “We’re at the project start stage, and from here on we’ll be putting together the development team,” Inaba continued, as translated by Gematsu. “We’re opening a 100-person studio in Tokyo, so we’re going to be recruiting talent. There are already about 15 people working there.”
Inaba added that the team wants to release the title on “all existing platforms”, 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.

"Not to be confused with the popular Girls’ Generation song"
Nice one, Sammy.
I'm excited by any new Platinum project, especially ones led by Kamiya, so I will be watching this game with great interest.
Not to be confused with the horse racing site I work for either.... 😂 😂 😂
The least I expected was a short teaser trailer. Nothing. Not even concept art. They haven't even started developing it.
All we've got so far is the announcement of Kickstarter for a port. And the announcement that they're going to work on a new game. Meh.
I can't see any artwork anywhere?
Don't get me wrong I'm excited for whatever platinum does. But this announcement kind of stinks. They should have at least shown a piece of concept art or something.
Edit: there's actually a cool teaser on their website!
@viciousarcanum You can see it here.

I think it's action game like ultraman
Trailer got me all excited for a good kaiju game.
@get2sammyb Girls Generation song?
All I can think of is this better be played behind the closing credits.
Confirmed G.G. Allen is the mystery character.
Ok nice but i have no idea what it is yet. No gameplay no nothing so i will be happy too see anything first and get excited with it then.
Also on all platforms lets hope they got the manpower too pull it off. I wish them all the best with their future games.
But i still have nightmares about the PS3 version of Bayonetta which Sega fixed in the end.
Looks like a godzilla game from the trailer?
I somehow missed out on most of the Ultraman stuff in my life and had to settle for the lame Americanized version the Guyver.
But if Platinum Games could get David Hayter to do the voice acting at least we know he's prepared for the part.
@rjejr
I don't know how to say this - but you completely stole my post!!
Well, not really. Mutronics really sucked, but for all its faults, I still have a soft spot for Dark Hero.
But yeah, a Platinum Guyver game would rock.so.very.hard.
@M1359 His ultra is he will take a bunch of laxatives and throw his sh@t at you.
@KALofKRYPTON Surprised someone on here knows, or at least admits to knowing, the Guyver films. We're the people weebos make fun of.
The amount of name-dropping in this trailer is embarrassing.
Ultraman vs Kaiju!!! YES.
If it's a game about fightin' giant monsters, I'm in!
@rjejr The Guyver anime was actually pretty good.
@WanderingBullet anime > anything live action
Dragonball Evolution
Avatar The Last Airbender
Ghost in the Machine
If there's a live action Akira I swear I'll never watch it, the new voices was bad enough. Oh Canada, oh Canada.
Sorry, that reply sounded nasty, wasn't aimed at you. I'd watch the anime if I came across it, I've read it's supposed to be ok.
@rjejr In regards to live-action adaptations, there are some decent ones and I've also watched some really good ones but the rest have either been average or terrible.
Henshin a go-go?
@rjejr
I am rather fond of Guyver.
I reckon the Manga Video VHS tapes from the 90s are still in my mom's loft! 😂
The 2005 remake anime was pretty good too.
@WanderingBullet Crying Freeman wasn't bad 🤔
I’m cautiously optimistic
