While the company would love the opportunity to resurrect and rework the title, the rights of the game are 100% with Microsoft. Here’s what Platinum Games studio head Atsushi Inaba said in an interview with Eurogamer Portugal.

**Platinum Games studio head Atsushi Inaba**

> Again, it’s a good question! But this was an intellectual property that belongs 100% to Microsoft. Whatever happens with this project, we can’t really do anything with it unless Microsoft leaves us. But it’s a game that we fall in love with and love. If the opportunity arises, it’s something we would love to return to.
