A legendary video game director has secretly opened a new studio

No one like a friend to reveal what you’ve been keeping secret ahead of time, as Shinji Mikami knows well, whose new studio has been unveiled.

What Shinji Mikami, the director of legendary games like Resident Evil, Vanquish or The Evil Within, was doing, was the best-kept secret in the industry. No one knew what he was doing or where, even though he had left the studio he himself had founded, Tango Gameworks, in early 2023. Until now, an old friend, from his own company, has revealed what he is doing.

Grasshoper Manufacture, the company of Goichi Suda, better known by the nickname Suda51, has announced that they will release a new game this year, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. This is a remaster of the homonymous game directed by Suda and produced by Mikami which, in the information about those involved, has revealed what no one knew until now: where the famous Japanese creative is.

Thus, through the Grasshoper Manufacture website, we can learn that Shinji Mikami “after leaving Tango Gameworks, founded KAMUY Inc.”. Something that Gematsu has confirmed is a company based in Tokyo, registered on October 5, 2023.

Although nothing else is known about the company or Mikami’s next project, who said he wanted to make at least one more game before retiring, this confirms that he is still in the industry and developing something. And while we don’t know what, it’s always funny to see how no one better than an old friend to reveal what you’re doing ahead of time.
