Unbound Games Studio, Founded by Resident Evil Creator, is Working on a AAA Game

It will be a project based on a new intellectual property on Unreal Engine 5.

Legendary Japanese game designer Shinji Mikami, known as the creator of the Resident Evil series, continues to work on a new project after leaving Tango Gameworks in 2023. New details have emerged about his studio, Unbound Games, which is already developing an original game for consoles and PC.

According to information on the studio's official website, the company was founded in May 2023, and Mikami serves as its director. Currently, Unbound Games employs about 50 people, but in the future, the team plans to expand to about 150 people.

The studio positions itself as a completely independent company creating high-budget games for a wide audience. The main goal is to develop original AAA projects.

Judging by the vacancies, the studio's first project will be based on a completely new intellectual property and will be released on consoles and PC. The game is being created on Unreal Engine 5.

At the same time, in the future, the studio plans to simultaneously work on more modest projects.

The company profile also notes that the studio's employees previously participated in the creation of such well-known series and games as Silent Hill, Shadow of the Colossus, and Hi-Fi Rush.

One of the key employees of the studio is producer Masato Kimura, a long-time colleague of Mikami, who previously worked on Ghostwire: Tokyo, Devil May Cry, and a number of projects in the Resident Evil universe.
