One other day, one other seemingly cancelled sport, this time PlatinumGames’ Challenge G.G., an Extremely Man-looking title that by no means had all that a lot revealed about it.
Keep in mind Challenge G.G.? I would not blame you if you happen to do not, it bought introduced method again in 2020, nothing else was ever shared of it, after which its director, Hideki Kamiya, left the studio (which he co-founded) on the finish of 2023. There have been clearly speedy questions as as to if this sport would ever see the sunshine of day following Kamiya’s departure, and now it nearly undoubtedly looks like it will not. If you happen to head to the web page on PlatinumGames’ web site that lists all of the video games they’ve labored on, you may discover 10 titles, together with the Bayonetta sequence, Nier: Automata, Metallic Gear Rising: Revengeance, and the not too long ago introduced Ninja Gaiden 4.
Besides utilizing the Wayback Machine exhibits that there was 22 video games listed there, together with licenced titles like Transformers: Devastation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, and The Legend of Korra, alongside video games it solo developed like Madworld and cataclysmic failure that was Babylon’s Fall – all of which nonetheless have their very own devoted pages, although they’re now not listed on the positioning (thanks, Eurogamer). Challenge G.G. was additionally one of many titles faraway from the listing of video games web page, besides now it would not even have its personal web page, because the URL for it simply redirects to PlatinumGames’ homepage.
That each one however confirms the sport is lifeless within the water, which is not precisely a shock provided that Kamiya hasn’t been on the studio for greater than a yr. For some time it has been a bit clear what PlatinumGames has been engaged on, provided that there appears to have been a little bit of a employees exodus not too long ago, however that new Ninja Gaiden sport not less than means the lights will keep on for a short while longer.
