Veteran video game developer Shinji Mikami has established a new company.
That’s according to a bio of the developer on the new Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered website, which claims that Mikami has recently founded ‘Kamuy Inc’.
No details further details on the company have been shared. There is also no indication of what the company will do.
In October 2023, the designer tweeted: “Now that I’ve broken the spell of non-competition on myself, I guess I should get to work.”
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.

Just over a year ago, Shinji Mikami - he of directing the original Resident Evil and Resident Evil 4 fame - was confirmed to be leaving Tango Gameworks, the studio that he had co-founded over a decade earlier to create a modern successor to his survival-horror classics, The Evil Within.
A new report alleges that be bigger than ever asit may incorporate a popular mechanic from another massively popular Capcom game. After the successful revitalization of the survival-horror franchise with 2017's, the series has jumped back and forth between new releases that advance the overall narratives and remakes of older games. Given that the most recent title was the remake, the community is confident that should be announced in the near future.

Shinji Mikami, one of the original creators of Resident Evil, has recently founded a new company under the name Kamuy Inc.

He's currently working with Grasshopper Manufacture Inc. on Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.
Resident Evil 9 will be an open-world game, a well-known Capcom leaker has said. The insider also claimed that Dragon's Dogma 2 is at least partially to thank for the Resident Evil series' purported open-world foray.
Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami has had a long and winding road through the industry, starting at Capcom, before jumping to short-lived offshoot Clover Games, then PlatinumGames, and then his own Bethesda-backed studio Tango Gameworks. Mikami stepped away from Tango in the past year, leaving it in the capable hands of protégé John Johanas, and it was unclear what his next step would be.
The franchise is one of the most iconic in the entire video game industry and one talented fan wants to remind the community how far the franchise has come since its humble start on the PlayStation One. While many other video game series that began on Sony's first console have been either forgotten or dormant, Capcom's survival horror games have only improved in quality over the years, bar the occasional stumble in the mid-2000s. With modern titles boasting some of the best graphics around, it's easy to forget its roots.
