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.

One of the most curious remakes which we’ve received in recent years was that of Until Dawn – released back in October 2024 courtesy of Ballistic Moon Studios. Within months of the game’s launch the studio was said to have been “effectively closed”. Though unconfirmed at the time, Ballistic Moon’s fate has now been revealed, with the studio officially being dissolved.

As reported by Insider-Gaming (who first made claims about Ballistic Moon back in 2025), the studio has now officially been dissolved as of February 2026 – marking the end of what was a relatively short existence.

Founded in 2019, Ballistic Moon was created by ex-devs from SuperMassive Games; the original team behind Until Dawn. The remake served as the studio’s first project and unfortunately was not received too warmly, achieving a Metacritic score of 70 (compared to the original’s 79).

While the title did receive some post-release support, according to Insider-Gaming by December of 2024 “the company had quietly laid off the remaining staff it had kept on board to support the game after launch.”

Based on the new ending cutscene designed for the remake, it is clear that Sony did at one point have plans to expand the Until Dawn universe – especially given the release of the film adaptation. That said, with reviews for the remake being middling, and now the official closure of Ballistic Moon, it’s safe to say that the franchise is going back on ice.

KitGuru says: What did you think of the Until Dawn remake? Was it inferior compared to the original? Would you have liked to see Sony pursue a sequel? Let us know down below.
