Platinum seems to have explained why Bayonetta 3 is so quiet

In the same interview with VGC the other week, PlatinumGames co-founders Atsushi Inaba and Hideki Kamiya used the company’s upcoming self-published title. GG project to apparently explain why he’s been so silent about some of the other releases.

With those other games – like Bayonetta 3, for example, it all depends on the publisher’s approach. In the case of Bayonetta 3, the publisher is Nintendo. When it’s something like Project GG though, Kamiya explains how Platinum can basically share whatever it wants, whenever it wants (without having any issues):

“Moreover, since we are self-publishing [Project G.G.], there are no editors to get mad at me this time around, so I’ll share stuff online, post screenshots whenever I want… “

When it comes to other titles (again, let’s use Bayonetta 3), that just isn’t Platinum’s decision to make. In saying this, Inaba notes how the company respects any approach other publishers wish to take:

“We don’t have much to say about projects that we don’t publish. And we understand that different titles require different approaches, so we respect the publisher’s decisions.”

“So if there’s a difference between what we want to do with Project GG and what we normally do with our other titles, that’s not really a criticism for these publishers: we respect their approaches. But for this title above all, our approach as a is that we hope to be more open. “

So, in terms of Project GG, you can expect to see and hear more than you might normally get from Platinum when working on a game released by another company.

Could this be why Platinum has been so low key about Bayonetta 3? Is that why Kamiya keeps telling fans that things are “really good” all the time? To be fair, in the same interview, he even said that a potential game update for 2021 isn’t really Platinum’s “position to say”.

What do you think of the above answers? Do you think Nintendo told Platinum not to say anything about Bayonetta 3 and it can’t even tell us? You know, so Nintendo can possibly do some kind of surprise announcement and break the internet … Share your own thoughts below.
