Scalebound producer Atsushi Inaba teased that Platinum Games’ Xbox One-exclusive action-adventure game may have multiplayer components, hinting that the answer lays in the game’s trailer.
“Unfortunately, we are unable to comment or say at this time,” Inaba told IGN at TGS when asked if the game has multiplayer aspects. “But as Kamiya touched on it earlier, we are not building this as a pure sort of linear boss [game. The] player can then go and go back if you want to and replay the entire game, so we’ll kind of leave that up to your imagination.
From VGC: "PlatinumGames‘ CEO has commented for the first time since confirmation that its live service game Babylon’s Fall is to be closed by publisher Square Enix.
Online brawler Babylon’s Fall was widely panned by critics when it launched in March and struggled to attract an audience ever since. Last month Square Enix confirmed the game will officially end service in February 2023, less than a year after its original release.
Speaking to VGC in a new interview, PlatinumGames CEO Atsushi Inaba commented publicly for the first time since the closure news, stating that the developer was “extremely sorry” for any disappointment it might have caused its fans."
Platinum really needs to step up with their games. They're way too hit or miss like square.
Not to be rude but if they have to close down ill feel sorry for them. I'm assuming they'll be closing down since they're chasing the dragon that is live service games.

What’s wrong with being the best maker of action games? “Action” has to be THE leading genre for games.
Well it's too bad they don't get to decide their own legacy! Your legacy is based on your body of work. What the hell have they done other than action games? Platinum is known as the action game company. If you want to do something do it well and they do it pretty damn well so I don't understand what they're upset about?! If you want to be known for something else make something else as great as the thing you're known for making that you're great at making!
I wouldn't mind seeing them make a big time RPG with action elements. Based on the interview though it doesn't seem they're too keen on making these big story heavy games and want to make some smaller, gameplay focused titles. They're one of the best in the business when it comes to action games, I don't think there's any dispute with that. Maybe they need another shot at proper Star Fox on switch? Maybe they should take a stab at making some kind of sports game or something like that where they can apply their action game sensibilities? I bet they would make pretty badass open world first person shooter?! I'm trying to think what else they could make that would fit their pedigree and most of it revolves around action. Just do what you do and do it well!
I understand where they are coming from and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be a company that explores a lot of fields, yet there's always nothing wrong with being a studio that perfects one formula, because whenever you make it again there's a trust that the consumer holds in you now, not talking about Platinum games specifically, just any studio
destiny but with dragons?
lol that would be something.
he actually teases MP , non linear story and open world :D
can't wait to see some gameplay ☺
Dyes...I'm excited for this game
My most anticipated game right now. I hope we get some gameplay soon.
If there was one developer I have faith in it is definitely Platinum. These guys really have mastered the arcade, over the top action I love in video games.
I really can't wait to see this game!
