It was recently reported that Tatsuya Minami stepped down as president of PlatinumGames last month. The company has now prepared its own statement about the situation, and was relayed by Polygon. It reads as follows:

As you may or may not know, this year is our 10th anniversary/ We feel this is the perfect opportunity to reform our internal structure in order to strengthen our position as a developer, and changes in personnel affairs are a natural part of that.

As previously mentioned, Kenichi Sato has taken over Minami’s role. He also has readied his own statement. He passed along the following words to Polygon:

I have recently assumed the position of President & CEO of our company, following the departure of Tatsuya Minami at the end of March 2016. With this, our board of executives now consists of myself, Seigo Tabira and Atsushi Inaba.

Please note that this change in staff structure in no way affects our dedication to our craft. I have utmost confidence that we will continue to create games to the same high standards that our partners and fans have come to expect from us.
