Most recently Platinum Games has been generally loved by the gaming community for creating great new gaming experiences. Â Mad World, Bayonetta, Vanquish, they have all been pretty well received.
Irrespective of if they made a penny, they a have been considered a success by gamers for the innovation and imagination behind the titles. Â Eventhough the contractual obligations are coming to a close for Sega, Â they see a future with the developer.
Alan Pritchard, executive VP of sales and marketing for Sega, spoke with GameInformer and announced that there is indeed another title on the way. Â ” We have a further title to announce from Platinum Games as well” Â said the executive.
It’s no secret that Mad World was not a commercial success. Â And the sales of Vanquish haven’t been horrible, but they don’t rival the commercial and critical success that Bayonetta achieved. Â So, we’re gonna go ahead and try and read the tea leaves here and say that Bayonetta 2 is the next game that Platinum Games will be making for Sega.
Hideki Kamiya has already hinted multiple times at the title via Twitter, and I do believe that the jig is up.
Update: Â Bayonetta 2 WAS eventually made. Â Though only by the good graces of Nintendo taking it upon themselves to scoop up the title for an exclusive on the Wii U. Â If not for them, Bayonetta would have been a one-hit wonder.
