Former ‘Ghostwire: Tokyo’ Creative Director Joins Kaizen Gameworks For Next Game
You remember Ikumi Nakamura from her appearance a few years ago at E3 introducing Tango Gameworks’ Ghostwire: Tokyo, right? Since then, she left Tango Gameworks to form her own studio. Nakamura has also now teamed up with Kaizen Gameworks (the folks behind Paradise Killer) to work on their next game.
Details are scant at the moment, apart from a tweet from Kaizen Gameworks announcing the partnership. “Working with [Nakamura] has been a dream come true,” exclaims Kaizen’s tweet. “We’re making something amazing together and we can’t wait to share it with you.”
Meanwhile, Tango Gameworks is still working on getting Ghostwire: Tokyo ready for its 2022 release for PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
