PlatinumGames Inc is a Japanese development studio based in Osaka, Japan. It was founded by and is mostly made up of key members of Capcom's former Clover Studio.
History
Originally named Seeds, Inc., the studio was founded on August 1, 2006, by former major Clover Studio employees Atsushi Inaba, Shinji Mikami, and Hideki Kamiya after they had left Capcom.[1] After the founding, Capcom shut down Clover Studio[2], with several more former employees transitioning to Seeds. Later, in September 2007, the studio merged with ODD Corporation, prompting them to change their name to PlatinumGames.[3]
After a partnership with Sega, Nintendo announced that they would be publishing a title from Platinum, which would later be revealed to be The Wonderful 101. It would later be announced that Bayonetta 2 was being financed and published by Nintendo. Finally, PlatinumGames are codeveloping Star Fox Zero alongside Nintendo.
