Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance developer PlatinumGames<\/strong> has recently become aware of cases of individuals receiving suspicious emails from third parties<\/a> impersonating the video game studio. These emails are disguised as job offers, which PlatinumGames states it \u201cnever sends to individuals without prior contact.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with all potentially malicious emails, PlatinumGames advises recipients not to reply, give personal information, or click on any embedded links. Instead, they can contact PlatinumGames using an official inquiry form<\/a> so the matter can be resolved quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"PlatinumGames\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Official communication from PlatinumGames\u2019 comes from the domain names @platinumgames.co.jp<\/strong>, @mail.platinumgames.co.jp<\/strong>, and @platinumgames.com<\/strong>. Emails from addresses with domain names other than these are likely from malicious third parties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PlatinumGames would also like to remind fans of its official English<\/a> and Japanese<\/a> X pages, as well as its official Instagram<\/a> page. You can also check out the studio\u2019s official recruitment webpage<\/a> if you\u2019re looking to work with them. As fast as PlatinumGames titles are<\/a>, it would be best to job hunt the old-fashioned way instead of relying on a surprise email from an unknown source.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
