Resident Evil creator and Tango Gameworks founder Shinji Mikami has spoken further about the closure and resurrection of the studio he created, which he thought "would be safe" following his departure as long as it continued making Hi-Fi Rush games.
Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within, and Ghostwire: Tokyo studio Tango Gameworks was founded by Mikami in 2010, but he left in 2023, albeit eight years after he initially wanted to. However, this May, it was announced that Microsoft was closing it, alongside Redfall studio Arkane Austin, a decision which the founder called "sad." In a new interview with IGN alongside No More Heroes and Killer7 director Goichi 'Suda51' Suda, Mikami reveals that his belief that the studio would remain safe if it carried on with Hi-Fi Rush installments was one reason why he left in the first place.
