Astral Chain is slated to release at the end of August, perhaps work on it is mostly done and it is that team is moving on to this. |
Most 2D artists (safe for some texture experts maybe) and some programmers should be done with their work on Astral Chain by now, and probably most 3D artists, too. They need some work while the rest is finishing up Astral Chain. While some will probably be shifted to Bayonetta 3 or to the mobile games (Platinum Games are apparently developing 2 games for iOS/Android right now), I'm sure not all of them can be employed on those considering they are already in advanced development by now. So some new project(s) make sense, and if Platinum can get Scalebound back, or, like I said earlier, Nintendo as a prize for their collaboration with Microsoft - which would then also make sense as to why no PS4 version, although that could be as payback for being kicked out of GranBlue Fantasy development 2 weeks ago. Speaking of this, the developers who were working on GranBlue also need something else to work on now, making Platinum Games starting a new or rebooting an old project even more likely.
