Legendary Game Developer, Shinji Mikami, Creator of Resident Evil Franchise, Forms New Gaming Studio

Veteran game visionary, Shinji Mikami, renowned for his directorial prowess in iconic titles like Resident Evil and The Evil Within, has unveiled a new chapter in his storied career. Emerging from the shadows of his previous endeavors, Mikami has set the stage for a fresh venture with the establishment of 'Kamuy Inc', as reported by the Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered website.

While specifics regarding Kamuy Inc remain shrouded in mystery, Mikami's tweet from October 2023 hinted at his renewed drive following his departure from Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for spine-chilling experiences like Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within series.

Having left an indelible mark on the horror genre during his tenure at Capcom, where he helmed classics like Resident Evil and its acclaimed 2002 GameCube remake, Mikami's creative ambitions transcend the confines of any single genre. In a statement back in 2020, Mikami expressed his desire to undertake one final gaming project before retiring, emphasizing his boundless creativity and openness to exploring diverse gaming realms.

Presently, Mikami is immersed in the development of Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered alongside the enigmatic Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51. With Suda's expressed interest in revitalizing the Shadows of the Damned franchise, ideally with Mikami's guidance, the gaming community awaits with bated breath to witness the fruits of this potentially ground-breaking collaboration. As Mikami embarks on this new journey with Kamuy Inc, the gaming landscape braces for yet another paradigm-shifting endeavor from one of its most esteemed architects.
