As we all knew.
Yeah, I'm definitely going to get this.
Partway through development of Ghostwire, Tango parent company Zenimax was acquired by Microsoft. In a seismic shift in the gaming industry, all Bethesda-owned developers were made the property of Xbox, including Tango Gameworks. Somewhat unexpectedly though, Ghostwire remained a PlayStation 5 exclusive, with Xbox pledging to uphold all agreements made prior to the acquisition. Still, Mikami thinks they’ll “most likely have something for Xbox,” in the future with regards to Ghostwire.
Despite this shift in ownership, for development staff, very little has changed. “Working with Xbox has been really smooth,” Kimura says, “although that part has been mostly handled by Mikami,” the director adds. “Having Mikami at the top of Tango to make decisions that are sometimes difficult just makes things really smooth,” Kimura explains, making sure to add that Tango generally receives “a lot of help and support” from Xbox and Microsoft.
With Ghostwire winding down development, Tango’s already preparing for the immediate future. Mikami himself announced late last year that a new project under The Evil Within 2 director John Johanas is already in the works, and neither he or Kimura will say whether it’s straying away from the survival horror genre Tango has become known for through The Evil Within.
