Read this while you are waiting for the updated Game Informer Ghostwire: Tokyo review and then check out this story about how Tango Gameworks is working on a “completely new title that is the complete opposite of horror.” It could be Hi-Fi Rush, Tango Gameworks’ surprise February release (read our review here), or it might be something else.

It doesn’t matter what the future holds, but don’t be surprised if Shinji Miami, creator of Resident Evil as well as the Evil Within series by Tango Gameworks, is still in the position of director. Last month, he announced that he would no longer be with the company. 

Is Ghostwire Tokyo the place you are going to be next month? We’d love to hear from you in the comments!
