PlatinumGames has appointed a new CEO after Kenichi Sato stepped down from the position in December. Sato was the CEO of PlatinumGames from 2016-2021, but he is now an advisor on the board rather than the head of the company.
Atshushi Inaba is now the studio head, and he has been with the company since its inception. Additionally, he has served as the vice president for some time now, but is now being elevated to the CEO.
A letter written by Inaba has been released alongside this announcement, and it can be read in its entirety below.
