Shift Up übernimmt Shinji Mikamis Studio Unbound

Shift Up, der Entwickler hinter Stellar Blade, hat Unbound übernommen, das neue Studio, das der Resident Evil-Schöpfer Shinji Mikami nach seinem Abschied von Tango Gameworks im Jahr 2023 gegründet hat. Die beiden Unternehmen gaben ihre Partnerschaft bekannt, um gemeinsam an originellen PC- und Konsolenspielen für den globalen Markt zu arbeiten. Shift Up wird die kommenden Titel von Unbound veröffentlichen.

Shinji Mikami, bekannt für die Regie bei Resident Evil und The Evil Within, gründete Unbound in Tokio mit rund 50 Entwicklern. Das Studio entwickelt originelle geistige Eigentumsrechte für PC und Konsolen. Ein zur Ankündigung veröffentlichtes Video enthielt Cameo-Auftritte bestienartiger Kreaturen und einen Vorgeschmack auf die Stimmung des Projekts. Mikami und der CEO von Shift Up, Hyung-Tae Kim, erklärten dazu: 'Wir haben beschlossen, gemeinsam dieselben Ziele zu verfolgen. Mit anderen Worten: Wir werden bei Unbound ein Meisterwerk von einem Spiel erschaffen.'
