Shifting development over to mobile, Platinum Games is working on a new samurai hack and slash fighter that is launching on iOS and Android this year.

Though the first game’s starting to show its age as far as visuals go, the relentless action remains timeless. Fast, frantic and frivolously fun, it’s still worth playing. The sequel, however, improves upon everything; deliver a more focused, more nuanced and more refined. It’s a glorious masterclass in design and flow.

Bayonetta is effectively two-thirds of an exclusive Nintendo franchise right now, thanks to the Big N stepping in at the 11th hour to rescue the franchise. There’s a story behind the creation and continuation of Bayonetta, one which Platinum Games big cheese Hideki Kamiya detailed in a series of fascinating tweets.

Metal Gear Rising is finally avaliable on a current-gen console, thanks to Microsoft's Xbox 360 backwards compatibility program.

NieR: Automata hasn't only been a win for Yoko Taro and his storytelling. Its success might have just saved Platinum Games in more ways than one.

The Wonderful 101 was one of Platinum's other excellant Wii U exclusives. And just like Bayonetta, it could be making the jump to Switch.

Bayonetta 2 might have been one of the best Wii U games ever released, but it was a stellar title that fell on a small audience. Could a Switch port be on the cards to change that?

Bayonetta and Vanquish creators PlatinumGames are getting back to a new IP. But it still seems quite some time away, with the company describing it as “formless, shapeless” at this time.
