Back in early 2023, prior to the shutdown of Tango Gameworks, studio founder and industry legend Shinji Mikami announced that he would be departing from the studio. Fortunately, by October of the same year Mikami was back to work on a new project. While details have remained light so far, new job listings have shined some light on Mikami and new studio Unbound’s plans.

As recently discovered by users, Shinji Mikami’s new studio, Unbound, has gone live with its website. Currently, the site itself does not discuss their on-going work, however it does reveal exactly when the company was established (May 2023) and the many different games which staff have worked on previously, including but not limited to:

• Silent Hill Series
• Resident Evil Series
• Devil May Cry
• Sonic Series
• Killer7
• Dead Rising Series
• Dinocrisis Series
• Onimusha series
• Viewtiful Joe Series
• Shadow of the Colossus

Based on the line-up, Unbound’s talent pool appears to be ‘unbounded’ with devs coming together from the likes of Capcom; SEGA; and Konami among other Japanese studios.

As discovered by VGC, recent job listings have offered some early details on what’s currently in the works, with Unbound said to be (according to the publication) “developing a high-end original IP project powered by Unreal Engine 5 for PS5, Xbox, and PC,” with “aspirations to work on smaller-scale titles concurrently in the future.”

Shinji Mikami is best known for his work in the horror genre, and so many expect that Unbound’s first project will be of the spooky kind. That said, the creator has embraced variety in recent years, and so it will be exciting to learn about whatever is currently in the works.

The survival-horror genre has been in a great spot in the past few years. With Resident Evil returning to its former glory with the seventh entry in the series and every game that has followed it, culminating with Resident Evil Requiem, the Silent Hill series returning with a remake of the second entry in the series and the first brand new game in years, and a wealth of solid indie titles, fans of the genre have had plenty of scary experiences to immerse themselves into. While it doesn't enjoy the same level of popularity as the CAPCOM and Konami series, […]

Although the system has only been out for less than a year, the Nintendo Switch 2 has already received some impressive third-party ports such as Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars Outlaws, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which have been highly optimized to deliver great experiences in both docked and handheld modes. The next multiplatform game that is likely to leave most users impressed is Resident Evil Requiem, which runs so well on the Switch 2 that the development team almost couldn't believe it.

Dead by Daylight is perhaps one of the most popular horror games of all time, with the asymmetrical multiplayer title amassing over 60 million players since its initial launch back in 2016. In the decade since, the game has continued to grow, crossing over with countless different iconic IPs. Already somewhat of a multi-media franchise, Dead By Daylight is now set to receive an animated show adaptation.

Following the recent announcement by THR stating that Dead by Daylight is getting a live-action film adaptation (produced by Blumhouse and James Wan’s Atomic Monster), it appears as though other similar adaptations are also in the works.

As reported by the publication DreadCentral, alongside the film adaptation, “the companies are also out to writers to develop a Dead by Daylight animated series based on the games.”

Little else has been provided in this regard and so it is safe to assume that the animated series is still in its early days of development.

As mentioned, Dead By Daylight is a massive franchise which has only grown further in popularity with time. That said, with the game’s strong focus on crossing over with other famous horror IPs, it will be interesting to see whether these adaptations will instead stick with the original characters and creations made for the game itself.
