Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, and Metal Gear Rising developer Platinum Games will reveal an unannounced new title at E3.
According to IGN, the title is not Xbox One exclusive Scalebound, and is instead something the studio has never shown before.
Scalebound was announced during Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2014. Project director Hideki Kamiya said it is unlike anything the studio has made before and aims to “create new gameplay,” among other things.
“The one thing that I will say is that up until this point in my career, and up until this point in Platinum Games’ history, we’ve never made a game like Scalebound,” Kamiya said. “What I’m trying to do with Scalebound is create a very different kind of game than what I’ve created up until this point. We’re trying to create new gameplay, and that is a challenge for me personally.”
Kamiya said the Xbox One should help Platinum in its effort to make Scalebound a visually impressive experience.
“We’ve never tried to do something photo-real or something more realistic with that touch,” he said. “But it’s always been something I’ve wanted to try. Now having that opportunity has been both difficult but interesting. And the power of the machine is helping there. It’s definitely something Platinum Games has wanted to try, and now we’re getting our chance to do it, which is cool.”
Platinum’s creative producer, JP Kellams, added that it was an “important step” in Platinum’s legacy to work with a Western publisher such as Microsoft. He went on to say that Microsoft believes in Platinum’s vision for Scalebound, and that the companies have a “really open relationship.”
Scalebound is expected to make an appearance at Microsoft’s E3 press conference on June 15.
