What Shinji Mikami, director of legendary games like Resident Evil, Vanquish, and The Evil Within, was up to was one of the industry's best-kept secrets. Even though he left Tango Gameworks, the studio he founded, in early 2023, no one knew where he was or what he was doing.. So far, an old friend from my company has revealed what he does.
Grasshopper Manufacture, the company of Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, has announced that a new game, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, will be released this year. This is a remaster of the game of the same name directed by Suda and produced by Mikami. Information about the people involved revealed things that no one knew before. It is the home of the famous Japanese creator.
therefore, Through Grasshopper Manufacture's website, It is clear that Shinji Mikami “founded KAMUY Co., Ltd. after leaving Tango Gameworks.”. Gematsu has identified a Tokyo-based company registered on October 5, 2023.
Nothing else is known about the company or Mikami's next project, but he has said he wants to make at least one more game before he retires. This confirms that he is still in the industry and developing something. I don't know what caused it, but it's always funny to see how no one does a better job of revealing what they're doing up front than an old friend.
