Platinum Games CEO Atsushi Inaba recently took part in a joint interview with Shift Up’s Kim Hyung Tae with Famitsu. The interview has since been translated and Platinum Games CEO Atsushi Inaba said that they are currently eager to expand Bayonetta as a character and broaden her world using the power of the Nintendo Switch 2. Here’s what was said:
So Inaba-san, there must be lots of parts that you relate to?
Inaba: Yes, I think it’s challenging. We have yet to release a game on Nintendo Switch 2, but I think there is so much potential. There are challenges in bringing various things to reality, but it’s a piece of hardware that can really widen a player’s enjoyment.
Kim: Bayonetta is approaching 17, but even looking at it now, I think it’s a wonderfully beautiful design. And the game really hasn’t lost any of its freshness.
Inaba: I think Eve from Stellar Blade is heading in the same direction.
Kim: I’ll try my best.
Inaba: And we need to keep it up until Bayonetta 10 (laughs).
Kim: That’s very important that you do.
In relation to Bayonetta, has PlantinumGames decided what its next move will be?
Inaba: Well… I can’t really answer that at the moment (laughs). As for Bayonetta, I strongly feel that I want to expand her as a character and broaden her world. Please wait to see exactly what shape that will take.
Even waiting for the next game…?
Inaba: I’m sorry, but ‘no comment’ (laughs).
Kim: I am truly looking forward to it so much! We’ll be talking off-the-record after this interview, so everyone please just hurry up and go home (laughs).
