Bayonetta Origins Director Lands at Sony

PlatinumGames Loses Key Director to Housemarque

The departure of Abebe Tinari, director of Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, from PlatinumGames to Housemarque, adds to the growing concerns surrounding PlatinumGames' future. This follows the earlier high-profile exit of Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Bayonetta, who cited creative differences with the studio's direction.

Tinari's move to Housemarque, the Returnal developer, was confirmed via his LinkedIn profile. He's taken on a lead game designer role, likely contributing to Housemarque's currently unannounced new IP. While a reveal isn't expected before 2026, Tinari's expertise will undoubtedly be a valuable asset.

PlatinumGames' recent string of developer departures, including those who quietly removed all mention of the studio from their social media, fuels speculation about internal shifts. While the studio is celebrating Bayonetta's 15th anniversary and potentially working on a new installment, the future of Project GG, previously led by Kamiya, remains uncertain. The impact of these departures on future projects is yet to be seen. The situation highlights a period of significant change and uncertainty for the once-dominant studio.
