Theres no confirmed information on whether the developers will join Kamiyas studio or not.Hideki Kamiya left PlatinumGames in 2023, which was followed by the studios announcement expressing gratitude to the developer: We are truly grateful for his creative ideas, leadership, and contribution to the growth of PlatinumGames from our start-up to this very day.The creator described his work with PlatinumGames as a relationship of trust and shared that the direction the company was heading in was different from his beliefs as a developer.The upcoming title of PlatinumGames, renowned for Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and Nier: Automata, is NINJA GAIDEN 4, a hack-and-slash action-adventure.
