Shinji Mikami will forever be primarily known as the creator of Resident Evil, but he’s actually had a pretty diverse career, also creating games like Vanquish, P.N. 03, and Goof Troop (yes, really). Well, in a recent interview with Famitsu (thanks to Video Games Chronicle for the transcription) Mikami said he’d like his studio Tango Gameworks to be just as adventurous. While it has a creepy tone, Mikami insists Ghostwire: Tokyo isn’t a horror game, and apparently, The Evil Within 2 director John Johanas is currently working on something that’s the “complete opposite of horror.”
Mikami would also like the change the scope of Tango Gameworks projects. Mikami envisions Tango as a game design school of sorts, and now that the studio is owned by Microsoft, he sees Game Pass as an outlet for smaller, more experimental games.
Tango Gameworks’ Ghostwire: Tokyo recently released on PC and PS5.
