"The new title is completely opposite of horror" - Shinji Mikami teases the next Tango Gameworks project after Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ghostwire: Tokyo's studio Tango Gameworks' founder, Shinji Mikami, has revealed that John Johanas, who directed the DLCs for Evil Within series, is working on a title that is "completely opposite of horror."
Meanwhile, the studio's latest offering, Ghostwire: Tokyo, is yet to be released. The game can't be considered a flop, but its rating has been dimmer compared to some of the other releases this year. The studio's founder, Shinji Mikami, has informed his intentions and plans for the future of it.
He has expressed that the Tango Gameworks should focus on other genres aside from horror. Mikami also believes that the studio should strive towards making non-AAA games and masterpieces.
Mikami has worked with Capcom and directed Resident Evil games during the golden years of the franchise. If there's somebody who understands the horror genre in video games, it's Mikami.
Since he founded Tango Gameworks, the studio was subsequently acquired by Zenimax and by Xbox.
In an interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, Mikami has stated that he would want the studio to not be symbolized by horror games only.
To reinforce his point, Mikami stated about an upcoming project being made by The Evil Within 2 director John Johanas. He has informed that the game being made under Johanas will be quite different.
According to Mikami, Ghostwire: Tokyo isn't a horror game.
There's also a good chance that Tango Gameworks may make non-AAA games. Mikami believes that such games will allow the studio to train newcomers who will work in smaller teams.
Mikami put the rationale behind having smaller teams specifically for the newcomers.
Mikami stated that he believes that Tango Gameworks should also focus on creating at least one masterpiece every decade.
