PlatinumGames will make the fourth and final announcement in its set of “Platinum 4” announcements on April 1, according to an update on the Platinum 4 website.

To recap, the first three announcements were the following:

• Announcement #1: The Wonderful 101: Remastered
• Announcement #2: Project G.G.
• Announcement #3: PlatinumGames Tokyo

Regarding the fourth announcement, PlatinumGames executive vice president and studio head Atsushi Inaba previously said, “The last one is a secret. We’re doing something very Platinum and interesting. Look forward to it.” PlatinumGames senior vice president and game designer Hideki Kamiya said at PAX East 2020 that it will be a “doozy.”

• Announcement #3: PlatinumGames Tokyo

Was this their own engine?

 

[The Cartographer]

Hoping it's not a joke game.

No this is their new development hub

Why not just announce it? What’s prevents that?

 

[Mhmmm 2077]

Why not just announce it? What’s prevents that?

April 1st is when new fiscal year starts, so maybe that? or they just wanted to be cool and make sure people will come to their website on that date

 

[O-N-E]

I guess it would be weird if it was Okami 2 considering Kamiya is already directing Project GG.....

But that's still what I'm hoping for.

 

[sublimit]

Great date for announcements.

 

[Labolas]

Hopefully this is real

 

[hyperbertha]

I hope SSDs will be a minimum requirement.

 

[Enjay]

Cool. Even cooler if they can allow sega and blewpoint to cohost so we can get all the disappointment out of the way at once.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I hate April 1st.

 

[Mista]

Well, fuck you PG.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

P*: Haha jokes on you I was only pretending to be retarded.

 

[Soltype]

Remember, 8bit Bayonetta was an April fool's joke, and it turned out to be a hint of something bigger.

 

[cireza]

4 announcements : a port, a building in Tokyo, a game we know nothing of, and maybe a shmup.

More like 1.2 announcements.

 

[Labolas]

 

[yurinka]

Out of the 4 announcement, if real this would be my favorite one: Platinum making an old school arcade game.

 

[Carna]

OH MY GOD PLATINUM! YOU ARE THE SINGLE GREATEST GAME DEV KNOWN TO MAN, PLEASE TAKE ME FROM BEHIND AND TRUST HARD INTO THE HEAVENS!

 

[ProgenitorCastle]

Good point!

 

[sublimit]

OMG Platinum that was so funny and totally unexpected!Hahahaha!

 

[EightBit Man]

I thought: well, they wouldn't lower themselves to that level. I was wrong.

 

[YukiOnna]

Knew it

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I don't have much of a sense of humor and almost never joke around or shitpost, so this pissed me off tbh.

 

[Enjay]

Eh. Tencent will be removing them from the console business soon enough anyway.

 

[sublimit]

Eh. Tencent will be removing them from the console business soon enough anyway.

Umm you want them to close down just because of an (admittedly lame) April fool's joke?

 

[Holammer]

So basically a third game in the Cresta series? Why the fuck not? I put a lot of money in Terra Cresta back in the arcades and it had a thumpin' soundtrack for the a mid 80's game. According to Wikipedia, Hamster Corporation acquired Nichibutsu IPs back in 2014 so the collaboration makes sense.
It better be old school pixel art or I'll be very disappointed. Even more so if it's a complete April fools'.

 

[Golgo 13]

April fools jokes are lame in general, but is a particularly unfunny waste of everyone's time.
