'''PlatinumGames Inc.''' ({{ja|プラチナゲームズ株式会社}}, ''Purachina Gēmuzu Kabushiki Gaisha'') is a Japanese video game developer. The studio was formed from the remnants of Clover Studio, a [[Capcom]] development studio which developed critically acclaimed but financially unsuccessful games such as the ''Viewtiful Joe'' series and ''Okami''. They have developed a range of action titles for other publishers such as {{uv|Bayonetta}} for [[Sega]], ''[[Metal Gear (universe)|Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance]]'' for [[Konami]], ''NieR: Automata'' for [[Square Enix]], and several titles for [[Nintendo]]: {{uvm3|The Wonderful 101}}, ''Bayonetta 2'' and ''Bayonetta 3'', ''[[Star Fox (universe)|Star Fox Zero]]'', and {{uvm|Astral Chain}}.
