In 2023, Mikami left Tango Gameworks, the studio behind The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo and Hi-Fi Rush, which he founded in 2010 before selling it to Bethesda.
Mikami is best known for his time at Capcom, where he directed the first Resident Evil, its 2002 GameCube remake and Resident Evil 4, among other titles.
In 2020, Mikami stated that he wanted to direct one more video game project before he retires, adding that he had no shortage of ideas and they weren’t limited to the horror genre.
He is currently working on Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered alongside Goichi Suda.
Suda, better known as Suda51, has indicated he’d like to make another new game in the franchise ideally with Mikami’s involvement.
