The departure of Abebe Tinari, director of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, from PlatinumGames to Housemarque, adds to the growing concerns surrounding PlatinumGames' future. This follows the high-profile exit of Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Bayonetta, in September 2023, who cited creative differences with the studio's direction. Kamiya's subsequent involvement with a Capcom Okami sequel further fueled speculation about PlatinumGames' trajectory.
Tinari's move to Housemarque, the developer of Returnal, was confirmed via his LinkedIn profile. He's taken on a lead game designer role, likely contributing to Housemarque's currently unannounced new IP. While Housemarque's next project remains shrouded in mystery, a 2026 reveal is anticipated by many.
The impact of these significant departures on PlatinumGames remains to be seen. While the studio is celebrating Bayonetta's 15th anniversary, the future of projects like Project GG, previously led by Kamiya, is uncertain. The anniversary celebration might, however, include announcements of new Bayonetta titles. The recent departures raise questions about the studio's ongoing projects and overall creative vision.
