Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama might have a strategy for helping video game studios stay afloat as the industry at large grapples with layoffs and closures. Elden Ring developer FromSoftware, he says, is a perfect example of it.
"The balance of routine and preserving the style of your games is relevant," Toyama said in a new interview with VGC, asked about his reaction to Tango Gameworks shutting down. Parent company Microsoft closed the Hi-Fi Rush studio in May, despite executives saying they "couldn’t be happier" with the studio's latest release back in 2023. Studio founder Shinji Mikami, who also created Resident Evil, called Microsoft's decision "sad."
