PlatinumGames has undergone several significant changes in recent years, including the departure of its co-founders, Hideki Kamiya and Shinji Mikami. Following these transformations, the company has made controversial decisions, such as the removal of all references to Project G.G., a video game that Kamiya had announced five years ago as the conclusion of a trilogy centered on superheroes. This title promised spectacular battles between a giant hero and kaijus, in the style of Ultraman.

Alongside Project G.G., PlatinumGames has erased nine other titles from its history, including well-known works like Star Fox Zero, Babylon’s Fall, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan. This action has generated a wave of uncertainty and speculation among fans and the developer community about the company’s future direction.
A former PlatinumGames producer, JP Kellams, expressed his discontent on social media, calling the removal of the studio’s history from its website a mistake and a lack of respect towards those who worked on those projects. Kellams suggested that this decision could reveal a lack of recognition for the company’s past achievements, further fueling concerns about its future.
So far, PlatinumGames has not provided clear explanations regarding the removal of these titles, which has led many to wonder about possible strategic changes within the studio. However, the company continues with new projects, including Ninja Gaiden 4, a collaboration with Team Ninja that marks the first new title in the saga in thirteen years and was recently announced during the Xbox Developer Direct.
