Now Playing: Project GG - Teaser Trailer (Platinum Games)
In the interview, Kamiya and producer Atsushi Inaba talk about the project in relation to their previous works; they describe Viewtiful Joe as being like their Kamen Rider, while saying that this new game will be more like their Ultraman. There are two different ways one could interpret this in translation: either the game takes some inspiration from Japanese hero Ultraman and the tokusatsu genre, or they intend for the work to be as impactful as Ultraman, which is beloved in Japan and has been hugely influential on pop-culture as a whole.
"Project GG" by Hideki Kamiya is the next project from PlatinumGames, revealed in Famitsu. The last entry of the "Hero Trilogy," which seems to be referring to Viewtiful Joe and The Wonderful 101 as the other two https://t.co/tPsn6VwFZs pic.twitter.com/PMsDz5Ii9I

The game, which will be the first title published independently by Platinum Games, is targeting all platforms. Kamiya and Inaba indicate that there are 15 people currently working on it, but the studio hopes to scale up the project considerably to have more developers on it.
It's part of the Platinum 4, following on from The Wonderful 101 Remastered, but the other projects have not been announced yet. The last project of the four is being kept top secret.
More details on Kamiya's "Project GG"
• Will be a "big hero" action game, likely Ultraman inspired
• First self-published IP by PlatinumGames
• Targeting all existing platforms
• Last 2 PlatinumGames projects are new games (not ports), last proj. is secret and "interesting"
