For the better part of this month, PlatinumGames has teased four big announcements on its website. Most assumed the team had four new games to show. Well, that theory can now be tossed aside. While the first two unveilings did concern games, the third reveal instead centers on a new Tokyo-based studio. Simply called PlatinumGames Tokyo, this newly formed team will soon begin work on ?Console live ops game development,? or, as we know it, live service games.
In a post on the company?s website, President and CEO Kenichi Sato revealed PlatinumGames Tokyo will open in April, becoming Platinum?s first development hub outside of its main office in Osaka. This new step was especially made possible by Platinum?s entering into a ?capital alliance with Tencent Holdings? back in December of last year.
