Speaking to Video Games Chronicle, Platinum CEO Atsushi Inaba admits they’re open to acquisition talks, provided they get to retain their creative freedom… Inaba doesn’t come right out and say it, but his answer certainly seems to hint they see Microsoft as their most likely buyer. Platinum auteur Hideki Kamiya recently made comments about wanting to finish the canceled Xbox One exclusive Scalebound with Microsoft, so Inaba isn’t the only one dropping hints in that direction. Platinum’s next game is the Square-Enix-published Babylon’s Fall, which launches on PC, PS4, and PS5 on March 3. A PlayStation demo of the game will drop on February 25.
