The creator of the Nier series saved the PlatinumGames studio
The author of Resident Evil 2 and Bayonetta, Hideki Kamiya, called the director of the Nier game series Yoko Taro “the savior of the PlatinumGames studio.”
According to Kamiya, the success and recognition of Yoko Taro’s latest game NieR: Automata breathed a second life into PlatinumGames, providing the studio with new fans, staff growth, cash receipts and other positive changes.
When I say that Yoko-san literally saved PlatinumGames, this is not an exaggeration. I can't find so many words to thank him.
PlatinumGames game director
PlatinumGames experienced difficulties after the cancellation of the Scalebound role-playing project, which the studio had been developing for about 4 years exclusively for Xbox One.
Nier: Automata was released in March this year on PlayStation 4 and sold more than 1 million copies in the first month.
