Project GG’s status remains uncertain, after Platinum removes the game from its website

PlatinumGames has removed the superhero game Project G.G. from the list of projects on its website, further fuelling speculation it may have been canceled.

Fans noticed this weekend that Platinum had updated its games page (the previous version is hosted here), reducing its list of 22 games down to just nine.

Notably, the web pages for the removed games are still live, including Mad World, Sol Cresta, and even canceled games such as Babylon’s Fall and World of Demons, but the former Project GG URL now redirects to the Platinum homepage.

Former Platinum producer Jean Pierre Kellams criticized the website update on Saturday, stating that the developer was “erasing its history.” “As someone proud of working on those games, I feel deeply insulted by this,” he wrote.

The fate of Project G.G. has been unclear ever since director and former vice president Hideki Kamiya announced his exit from Platinum back in October 2023.

Announced in February 2020, Project G.G. was described as an action game featuring a giant hero, described as the ‘climax’ to Kamiya’s superhero trilogy. However, there’s been no update on the project since his departure and, notably, he was joined at his new Capcom-backed Clovers studio by G.G.’s lead designer.

Speaking to VGC in an interview in December, Kamiya wouldn’t comment on the status of Project G.G., but admitted he regretted not being able to see the project through to completion.

“I absolutely feel the same way about Project GG [as I did with Scalebound],” he said, referencing the canceled Xbox exclusive. “It’s unfortunate, like with Scalebound. I believe Scalebound would have been a really fun game if it had been released, and the same goes for Project GG.

“We truly believed that it would be a great game, and so now that I’m not a part of it, I do feel it’s unfortunate that I wasn’t able to see it through to its final release.”
