L'ancien directeur de Bayonetta Origins fait équipe avec Housemarque

PlatinumGames perd son directeur clé au profit de Housemarque

Le départ d'Abebe Tinari, directeur de Bayonetta Origins : Cereza and the Lost Demon, de PlatinumGames à Housemarque, s'ajoute aux inquiétudes croissantes concernant l'avenir de PlatinumGames. Cela fait suite au départ très médiatisé de Hideki Kamiya, créateur de la franchise Bayonetta, en septembre 2023. La décision de Kamiya de diriger le développement de la suite Okami de Capcom a suscité des inquiétudes quant à la trajectoire de PlatinumGames.

Alimentant encore ces inquiétudes, plusieurs grands développeurs de PlatinumGames, dont Tinari, auraient supprimé toutes les références au studio de leurs comptes de réseaux sociaux. La récente mise à jour LinkedIn de Tinari confirme son déménagement à Helsinki, en Finlande, et son nouveau rôle de Lead Game Designer chez Housemarque, le studio derrière le célèbre Returnal.

Contribution de Tinari au projet inopiné de Housemarque

Housemarque, acquis par PlayStation en 2021, développe une nouvelle IP depuis la sortie de Returnal. Il est fort probable que Tinari apportera son expertise à ce projet. Cependant, une annonce officielle concernant le prochain jeu de Housemarque n'est pas attendue avant au moins 2026.

Incertitude chez PlatinumGames

L'impact de ces départs importants de développeurs sur PlatinumGames reste incertain. Alors que le studio a récemment annoncé une célébration d'un an pour le 15e anniversaire de Bayonetta, faisant allusion à un nouvel opus potentiel, l'avenir du Project GG, une nouvelle IP dirigée par Kamiya, est désormais entouré de doutes. Le calendrier de développement du projet sera probablement affecté par le départ de Kamiya. La série de sorties très médiatisées soulève des questions sur la direction créative actuelle du studio et ses projets à venir.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019. Here’s what’s known: Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony. In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
