Shinji Mikami has opened up a new studio called Kamuy, according to a bio on him on the official website for Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.
He founded Tango Gameworks in 2010, which is the studio behind The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi Rush, and ended up leaving the studio in 2023. Before Tango he worked at Capcom as the director on the first Resident Evil title, the GameCube remake, Resident Evil 4, and more.
"As director and producer of the Resident Evil and The Evil Within series and more, Mikami has created numerous blockbuster hit titles," reads the bio. "1996 saw the release of Resident Evil, on which he acted as director. He greatly contributed to the popularization of the survival–horror genre, and has had a major impact on the video game industry ever since.
"In 2010, Mikami founded Tango K.K. (renamed Tango Gameworks in October of the same year after becoming part of ZeniMax Media Inc.), after which he directed and released The Evil Within. He also acted as executive producer on Ghostwire: Tokyo and Hi-Fi RUSH.
"After leaving Tango Gameworks, he established KAMUY Inc."

I'm excited to see what he works on next. I wish Capcom would hire him as a consultant on the next RE game though.
What a great idea. That'd be awesome but unlikely sadly.
Yeah it's wishful thinking, although it's more likely than Kojima ever working on another MGS game lol
They would be nice because that would keep the quality of resident evil games to be of consistent quality as they have been with there remasters.
Well it's pretty unlikely that he will ever work on a Resident Evil game again but one can always dream...
Why don't u just go back to Capcom and remake Dino Crisis already!?
Haha congrats Mikami San hopefully better projects comes out on ur new company!
Yes please!!! I need new Dino Crisis!!!
That game doesn't need a remake; it's fine on its own. Just make a spiritual successor.
So this is where Hideki Kamiya will end up.
Will support whatever this man releases next! I hope Evil Within 3 will be okay without him!
