PlatinumGames Inc. (プラチナゲームズ株式会社) is a Japanese development studio based in Osaka, Japan. It was founded by and is largely made up of former Capcom developers. The company's name comes from the studio's desire to "provide gamers worldwide with games of the highest quality", their logo being derived from "Pt", the atomic symbol for platinum.[1]
History
PlatinumGames was formed as the result of a merger between Seeds Inc. and ODD Inc.; ODD Inc. (initially ODD Ltd.) had been founded in February of 2006 by former Capcom employee Tatsuya Minami, while Seeds Inc. had been formed on August 1, 2006, by former major Clover Studio employees Atsushi Inaba, Shinji Mikami, and Hideki Kamiya after they had left Capcom[2]. Seeds merged with ODD in October of 2007, and the newly-merged studio would change its name to PlatinumGames.[3]
At the end of March 2016, Tatsuya Minami stepped down from his position as president and CEO and left the company, and was succeeded by executive director Kenichi Sato.[4]
In February of 2020, as part of a series of four major announcements from the company, PlatinumGames announced that they would be opening a new development office in Tokyo.[5] Originally slated to open in April 2020, the opening of PlatinumGames Tokyo was delayed to August due to the COVID-19 pandemic and national state of emergency declaration in Japan.[6]
