Resident Evil co-creator and original director Shinji Mikami has apparently been gradually building a secret project at new studio Unbound, seemingly beginning work as its representative director not long after Microsoft officially shut down his last studio to have released a game, Tango Gameworks, in 2024. The Hi-Fi Rush studio has now found a new home under PUBG developer Krafton, and Mikami, who left Tango in 2023, had already moved on. His latest studio Unbound is – as recently spotted by VGC – actively recruiting for an unannounced, original IP. According to a 2024 translation by Automaton, Mikami last founded a company called Kamuy with the hope of focusing on short release cycles led by young talent, and also to separate himself from the survival horror genre. He hasn't spoken much about Kamuy since then.
