Despite the success of Hi-Fi Rush, Shinji Mikami is set to leave the Japanese development studio he helped to found over a decade ago. Beginning in 1996, Mikami was responsible for some of the most popular survival horror and action games, such as Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Resident Evil remake, P.N.03, Resident Evil 4, God Hand, Vanquish, and The Evil Within. Furthermore, he worked as producer or advisor on a number of other classic Capcom titles, including Onimusha, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, Viewtiful Joe, and Killer7.
Mikami exited Capcom in 2007 and went on to become a co-founder of PlatinumGames, which he left in 2010 to found Tango Gameworks – and now he has parted ways with that studio as well. Tango Gameworks was purchased by Bethesda shortly after it was established and then Bethesda was obtained by Microsoft in 2021. A company email disclosing Mikami's departure, which has been verified as authentic by Bethesda, was leaked.
The email read, ‘I am writing today to let you know that studio head Shinji Mikami has decided to leave Tango Gameworks in the coming months. Mikami-san has been a creative leader and supportive mentor to young developers at Tango for 12 years through his work on the Evil Within franchise, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and of course, Hi-Fi Rush.’
There is no clear evidence of what Mikami will do next or why he left, but it is evident that moving companies is not as strange for him as it is for many other Japanese developers.
