Happy New Year 2012!
Thanks to you all we had a terrific 2011 and we are looking forward to your continued support this year.

In Japan, the coming of the New Year is an event marked with a very special importance, with a different connotation to how the date is viewed in the West. People make it a special point to greet each other properly. New Year’s resolutions are announced. New Year’s greeting cards are sent with great care and importance. However, the New Year’s week festivities are soon over, and the day-to-day life of December returns just as quickly. Actually, in the business world, that week seems more like a single day before things are right back to normal. At least, it seems like that most years.

But for us at PlatinumGames, this New Year is a bit different than most.

At the end of December, we moved to a brand new office. While it is a brand new office, it is actually in the same building. We just moved down one floor from nine to eight. It is going to give us more space and more tools to make even greater games. We are truly going out with the old and in with the new for 2012 and things are looking much different for us now.

Our new offices officially open on January 5, 2012, which is our first day of business for the year, and the first day of our new start.

December 2011 saw us announce a new title that marked a turning point for us as a company. As a game developer, our job is to make the best possible game we can at all times. We look forward to your continued support as we strive to do just that.

Best Wishes,
Tatsuya Minami
