Last month, fans speculated that the key creator could have made a career switch, after he removed reference to PlatinumGames from his X handle.

Now, fans have noticed that Taura has changed his place of work on his Facebook page, swapping Platinum for the mysterious ‘Eel Game Studio’.

According to Japanese company listings, this appears to be a new formation, suggesting Taura is either establishing a studio, or going freelance. It’s also potentially notable that the new company has been formed in Tokyo, and not Osaka, where Platinum’s main HQ is based.

VGC has asked Platinum for comment on this story.

Taura has indeed left Platinum, as his social media profie suggests, then it would come amid a period of perceived uncertainty for Platinum.
