There's no doubt we're going to hear more about the various projects PlatinumGames has been up to at this year's E3. While we wait for those details, Platinum Games executive director and producer Atsushi Inaba and game designer Takahisa Taura sat down with Gematsu to share status updates and tease a few things to come.

On 2019 titles and other new titles

Inaba: “Well first, Taura’s Astral Chain is going to be released. And other than that there’s potential to release news about new titles we have on the way. And all this news would bring a major change to Platinum Games, I believe.”

On bringing up the idea of porting The Wonderful 101 to Switch

Inaba: “Yeah, I think I said that on multiple occasions. And I’m glad that I did. So if you could be patient with it, that’ll be great.”

On Bayonetta 3 development

Inaba: “Sorry, again we can’t share anything. Although I can assure you, development is going smoothly. So please wait for further updates.”

On Astral Chain

Inaba: “We want to share more, but we can’t.”

Taura: “It’s not far from release, so there will be news soon. ...Astral Chain is coming out on August 30, so stay tuned for more information. We hope you can get a copy of the game and enjoy it, and we can guarantee that its good.”
