This was unexpected, Shinji Mikami (Vanquish, Bayonetta, Resident Evil) and his studio Tango Gameworks just got acquired by Zenimax Media that owns Bethesda and id.
Mikami, whose last project was the just-released Vanquish, will remain in Tokyo with his team, where he will stay on as the head of the studio and take the role of creative lead on “all future projects”.

Future Tango-developed games will be published by Bethesda Softworks. Interesting.

its not working with….Mikami studio is now OWNED by Zenimax!
Yes that’s clearly what the post says, thus implying the “working with” title. :P
Mikami is on FIRE!!!
Its a very nice opportunity to see Japanese developers working in conjunction with Western developers. I think they could come up with a medium to bring the best of both worlds in one environment.
Best of luck to Mikami-san.
