Shinji Mikami's next game was just stealth-announced in a YouTube video and it sure looks like the creator of survival horror is back doing what he does best

On leaving Tango Gameworks in 2023 industry legend Shinji Mikami started up a new development studio called Unbound. This was the third studio Mikami has co-founded or founded, after PlatinumGames (2007) and Tango itself (2010), not to mention his leadership of Capcom's iconic Production Studio 4 and later Clover Studios.

Unbound was recently in the news thanks to the appearance of a website with the scantest of details about its first project, and it hasn't taken long for a major publisher to step in and start throwing money at Mikami. The Korean publisher Shift Up, best-known in the West for Stellar Blade, has announced in a press release that it has acquired Unbound outright through purchasing all of the studio's shares.
