It was announced by Bethesda quite some time ago that Shinji Mikami, the creator of Resident Evil, has decided to leave Tango Gameworks studio after 13 years of work.
During his time at the studio, Mikami made significant contributions to the creation of many games, including The Evil Within saga, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Hi-Fi Rush. Fans were impressed by his work and continued to praise him.
However, according to VGC reports, it seems that Shinji is ready to return to game development now. He recently stated on Twitter, “Now that I have freed myself from the non-competition curse, I think it’s time for me to get to work.”
In February, it was announced that Mikami would be leaving Tango Gameworks studio, which he founded in 2010 and later sold to Bethesda. He is known for creating The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi Rush.
Mikami gained the most fame during his time at Capcom, where he directed the first Resident Evil, its GameCube remake in 2002, Resident Evil 4, and other games. He also directed Vanquish at PlatinumGames and produced Shadows of the Damned at Grasshopper Manufacture.
In 2020, Mikami expressed his desire to become the director of another game project before retiring. He mentioned that he has plenty of ideas and is not limited to the horror genre.
Interestingly, Mikami admitted that his “best game” is not Resident Evil 4, but another project called God Hand, a scrolling action game from the PS2 era, which was released thanks to the contribution of Hideki Kamiya.
