Bayonetta Creator Expects Franchise to Continue Without Him

Hideki Kamiya, the creator of Bayonetta, expects the bombastic third-person action series will continue to be developed at PlatinumGames without his supervision. Kamiya was one of the three co-founders of PlatinumGames back when the company started in 2006, having a reputation for his prior work at Capcom with games like Devil May Cry. While he worked at Platinum, his primary claim to fame was the Bayonetta series, directing the first game and then supervising the development of its sequels. After a 15-year tenure at the studio, Kamiya announced he’d be leaving PlatinumGames.
