Game designer, game director and executive vice president of PlatinumGames, Hideki Kamiya, will be leaving the renowned game studio he helped found this October.
Hideki Kamiya, who directed Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, Ōkami, Bayonetta, The Wonderful 101 and Scalebound (before it got canceled), announced yesterday that he’s leaving PlatinumGames. He co-founded the studio in 2006. He’s not retiring, though. “As long as I have everyone’s support, I’ll keep making games, so I’ll do my best not to disappoint,” reads part of an auto-translated thread at X.
