PlatinumGames announced Project G.G. from director Hideki Kamiya this past week, the third part of Kamiya’s hero trilogy following Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101.
While PlatinumGames had previously mentioned to Famitsu that the studio was targeting every platform with Project G.G., we now have confirmation it is coming to Switch from Atsushi Inaba’s comments when talking to IGN, , among other platforms.
Kamiya also noted that Project G.G. won’t be a pure action game
. “Any game I make will of course include carefully crafted action elements, but this won’t be simply an action game,” . “There will be much more to it than that.”
“[I]t won’t be a very niche kind of game; giant hero stories are popular in Japan, with things like Ultraman, and the game will have that kind of flavor to it, but I don’t want to restrict myself to the Japanese hero genre. So the setting will probably not be Japan, as that might be restrictive. But I haven’t decided yet.”
As for release timing, Kamiya and Inaba said:
“Put it this way, we’re not looking at something as long as three years. Nor will it be as soon as half a year or a year. But as our first self-owned and self-published game, we want to deliver it as soon as we can.” – Inaba
“Hey, I don’t have any desire to release games quickly! My only desire is to release games that are good.” – Kamiya
