Platinum Games is working on two new IPs, which it plans to self-publish
Platinum Games' co-founder Atsushi Inaba has revealed that the company is currently developing two new IPs that it plans - in a first for Platinum - to completely self-publish.
Speaking to GameInformer, Inaba explained that the company has been "looking into creating our own IP, creating our own game." Although Platinum has traditionally focussed on making original and licensed games under the wing of a larger publisher, "we're becoming more and more interested in the idea of self-publishing and doing our own title."
Inaba explained that Platinum's internal policy of allowing any team member to pitch a game idea has resulted in around 70 design documents, which the company has been slowly sifting through. The idea, says Inaba, is that "we want to motivate the people that work here. We want to give them an opportunity to make their own game." To that end, Platinum now has "two designs that we're genuinely focused on".
