PlatinumGames is a Japanese video game developer and publisher founded in 2007 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan. The company was formed by a number of former Capcom staff including game directors Hideki Kamiya and Shinji Mikami and producer Atsushi Inaba.
Company history
The company was founded as ODD Ltd by Tatsuya Minami, a veteran Capcom game designer and producer, in Osaka, Japan in February 2006. It was renamed ODD Inc. in July 2007. Minami had left Capcom after growing tired of working on sequels. He told Polygon: "I started to feel more and more frustrated. My biggest personal motivation for leaving was I realized that if I started my own company and brought in a whole bunch of new people, we'd be able to make original and new things."
