“Now that I’ve broken the spell of non-competition on myself, I guess I should get to work,” MikamiX-edat the time.
What Mikami and KAMUY might be working on, however, is another question entirely. A Japanese company listing suggests the studio was set up in October last year, so it’s likely to be very early.
The dev’s ludography to date would make a survival-horror game of some kind a solid guess, though his credits also span the lines ofDino Crisis, sci-fi third-person shooter P.N.03, cult fighter God Hand and theincredible PlatinumGames-developed rollerblading shooter Vanquish, so don’t bet on the obvious just yet.
