The father of Resident Evil was tired of making horror games

Shinji Mikami's name is well-known in the gaming world, not only as the creative soul of the Resident Evil series, Dinosaur Crisis, and Resident Evil 4, but also for the critically acclaimed 2014 Evil Within game during Tango Gameworks. Although a sequel to the series was later launched, Mikami was not involved.

After leaving Tango, Mikami opened his new studio, KAMUY, earlier this year. In an interview with the Japanese YouTube channel Byking, he revealed that he had the idea of leaving Tango eight years ago, but because of the project at hand at the time, he chose to stick to his post. Mikami wants to create a new world that will provide more opportunities for young game developers and accelerate project cycles.

HE ADMITS THAT HE IS TIRED OF MAKING HORROR GAMES AND WANTS TO EXPERIMENT WITH DIFFERENT GENRES IN A NEW STUDIO, SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT KAMUY STUDIO WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE HORROR GAMES.

In the interview, Mikami also mentioned his role at Tango, although he is the CEO of the company, he is actually about the same status as an ordinary employee.

In addition, Mikami mentioned that despite speculation that Tango may be working on Evil Within 3, he has personally moved on to other types of game development. For the gaming industry, this could signal a trend where, with limited budgets, veteran developers are partnering with new talent to create smaller, more elaborate games.

Regarding the future of the Resident Evil series, there is news that the development of Resident Evil 9 may go more smoothly than expected. Although there were previous rumors that the game would be open-world, well-known tipster Dusk Golem revealed that the game may have suffered internal delays for a number of reasons.

Dusk Golem also mentioned that there may be another game in the Resident Evil RE series that will be announced before Resident Evil 9, but this is still uncertain news at the moment. If this news is true, fans may be able to look forward to a new remake.

Previously, Dusk Golem broke the news that Capcom is working on several Resident Evil games, including Resident Evil 9 earlier this year. Capcom seems to have a variety of options when it comes to game development, and they are in no hurry to launch new titles due to the recent earnings of the company exceeding expectations. With the upcoming release of a new Monster Hunter title, Capcom is in a strong period and has plenty of time and resources to craft Resident Evil 9. ”
