It has been revealed that Shinji Mikami, the CEO of Tango Gameworks, will be leaving his studio at the end of this year. Mikami-san is best known as the man responsible for the development of the popular horror game, The Evil Within.
Mikami-san announced his departure in a post on his official blog, saying that after much consideration, he has decided to leave Tango Gameworks to pursue other interests outside of the video game industry. He also took the opportunity to thank all of his fans, friends, and colleagues that had supported him during his tenure as CEO.
Mikami-san will not be leaving the industry completely, however; the post finishes off with his intention to start a new company in a different, more familiar direction from Tango Gameworks. It’s uncertain as to what direction this will take him in, but it will be exciting to see what new projects he takes on in the future.
The team at Tango Gameworks also expressed their best wishes for Mikami-san’s future endeavors. His departure from the company will undoubtedly be a loss, but the studio will continue to carry on under its new leadership and continue to develop quality titles for their fans.
In short, it is truly the end of an era for Shinji Mikami, as he leaves the studio behind to pursue his next great vision. Fans of his work will no doubt be eager to see what new projects await him outside of the video game industry.
