According to this week's issue of Japanese magazine, Famitsu, PlatinumGames will be sharing a "major" announcement in a future issue set to release on 27th February.
No further details have been shared in this tease, but you might remember that the Bayonetta and Wonderful 101 developer launched a mysterious 'Platinum4' website earlier this month. It was soon revealed that The Wonderful 101 Remastered was number one of four projects to be revealed, so we're guessing this announcement could well be number two.
While we don't want to get anyone's hopes up, we'll also leave you with this. 27th February happens to be a Thursday - a day which is commonly home to major Nintendo Direct presentations. It also happens to be Pokémon Day, which was used to reveal Pokémon Sword and Shield in a Direct last year. Could a full Direct be coming on the 27th, perhaps giving us Bayonetta 3's release date as well as other news?
Probably best to stay calm and ignore that list bit, huh? Let us know what you think the announcement could be in the comments.

Align it to 'two directs in february' rumor, one being AC direct on 20/02. Also, 27/02 PAX is rolling out with some major reveals (baldurs gate 3 is confirmed to be there). Sometimes I feel like I live in a gaming conspiracy theory.
Not getting my hopes up.
The great announcement is that... I'm hungry. Rawr!
And the major announcement is.............
wait for it.....
Bayonetta 2 DLC with new costumes!
Direct next week.
Isn't Platinum also making Babylon's Fall? Maybe it's some news on that one. It doesn't mean the announcement is necessarily related to Switch.
I won’t get my hopes up....
But I want my Bayo3 already!
It smells like Direct!
The rumors said that we would get 2 Directs this month, one of them on the 20th focused on Animal Crossing... Well, there´s just one week more to go.
Refresh the partnership with Square for a new / remade final fantasy tactics game please!
(Obscure and highly unlikely but I love the tactics games and couldn't really get into Bayonetta)
Direct on the 27th it is then? It's surely got to be Bayonetta 3.
More playstation news I suspect!!
I'm not going to ignore that list bit!
Nier Automata will be revealed during next week's Direct.
Or rather, I hope it will be.
Bayonetta 3, hopefully.
Or Astral Chain 2?
Scalebound maybe ? ....
Bayonetta 2 and 3 for pc kickstarter page HYPE
Bayonetta 3 coming soon in 2025!
Bayonetta 3 news, or Vanquish or Nier: Automata Switch port would be good.
Mad World/Anarchy Reigns remaster would also be good.
My prediction:
"Kamiya has decided to ban all players who speak English."

At this point the Bayonetta 3 trailer has to open with her saying, "Kept ya waiting, huh?:
If it's not Bayonetta 3 I don't care
Nier or Bayo 3 please!
Surely Bayo 3.....
I Hope it's in a Direct. I'm not a fan of AC and have little to look forward to on Switch right now.
Maybe Nier is coming to Switch
I think the 27th will be a massive day for all gamers all over the world. It’ll be the reveal of the ps5, price of the xbox series x, launch games for both systems, switch pro details shared, and a massive direct with both botw 2, mario odyssey 2, and a ton of game announcements including metroid prime 4 (coming this year), bayonetta 3 (september), f-zero RPG (october) and a stealth release of Hollow Knight Silksong and Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle 2.
This is what I asked my gf to get me for my birthday, and she can make anything happen.
Hoping for Bayo 3 but will probably be Astral Chain DLC
They start developing Metroid Prime 4 from scratch 😂😂😂
MGR the rerevengest reckoning returns
Astral Chain 2 before the end of the year, they want to see if they can release a whole trilogy before they show another trailer of Bayo 3.
also, this: https://twitter.com/TwitterGaming/status/1229822626597687300
I do hope it’s astral chain, for me it’s their best game so far
Almost certainly a Nintendo Direct with Bayonetta 3 news!
More news about Bayonetta 3 would be nice. Or bring back Mad World.
I think it's something PS5 related, if Sony is apparently revealing news comparable to the past then the PS5 reveal is probably in the next few weeks as the Playstation Meeting 2013 was on February 20th.
@Hobbesyall astral chain is a good game too but also bayonetta series as well so dont forget that too.
@RiasGremory for me is : 1 Astral Chain, 2 Niet automata, 3 Bayonetta :3
I would love to see Platinum make a racing game. I hope one of thse four things is a new racing IP. Or Excite Truck.
@cmk8
A new Final Fantasy Tactics would be great, but Platinum isn’t the studio I would want to make it
I'm crossing fingers and toes for a remaster of Vanquish!
Bayonetta 3, vanquish 2, I wish 😀😀I very much doubt that unfortunately.
