PlatinumGames is posed to have a pretty good year. The company has stumbled in recent times with several flops as well as canceled projects. Now, however, they got an infusion of funds in partnership with Chinese multimedia giant Tencent, and we’re getting more updates on their upcoming titles. It could also be that a past game they developed could be getting some news soon.
In a random tweet from the company’s official Twitter, there’s a picture of the legendary Hideki Kamiya with someone unknown in the background photobombing. It’s both random and devoid of any context. If you look just a little closer, however, you’ll see the time on his computer is 1:01 and the date is 10/1. This has lead to much speculation that some news related to The Wonderful 101 is coming.
The action game was a collaboration between Nintendo and PlatinumGames that released on the Wii U. It also happens to be the last game to be directed by Kamiya. Nintendo has ported over a large part of their first party Wii U catalog to Switch and Kamiya has expressed interest in wanting to revisit the quirky title. It’s always possible this could just be a goofy picture and the 101s are pure coincidence. We’ll just have to wait and see.
