Bethesda Softworks today revealed that famed developer Shinji Mikami will depart Tango Gameworks.
The famed creator of Resident Evil. The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi Rush is leaving the studio he founded back in 2010. Founded with the goal of developing survival horror titles, Tango Gameworks saw the release of The Evil Within franchise followed by Ghostwire. Their latest title, Hi-Fi Rush was a complete tonal shift, but captured the chaos and high-octane action usually present in his titles. No word yet on Mikami’s future plans.

Shinji Mikami has been a highly influential figure in the survival-horror genre having directed the original Resident Evil. While he would oversee the franchise, it wouldn’t be till the highly acclaimed Resident Evil 4 that he returned to the director’s chair.
