Seems like they just started to gain some ground internationally and they're already pumping up their monopoly game by purchasing other companies. Growth above everything else I guess.

Shift Up gaining access to Mikami's/Ex-Capcom employee design expertise (which will improve their games) and Mikami's studio being owned/published by a smaller company like Shift Up instead of a mega publisher like Microsoft (look at what they did to Tango) seems like a win/win to me.

Whatever happens, I hope they have smoother sailing than Tango did.

Great friggin' news

Also, I'm gay

 

[gerth666]

Nice. A good combination.
I'm happy that a legendary game director is able to continue making awesome games with financial backing.

Survival horror with a dump truck. Bring it.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

This is good because Mikami won't be forced to make RE4 again.

So when is Shit Up shutting down Unbound?

 

[AltruisticFormality]

It seems real, there's no punchline or joke in any of the vids or announcements.

The press release seems legit. But there is a bit of joking around in the video.

April's fool?

I'll chop off my head if it is.

From these two I want a spiritual successor to Vanquish but starring Eve and Vanessa Z. Schneider as protags.

 

[Ssech]

If its not an April fools thing, I am extremely excited.

 

[mckmas8808]

yeah the potential here is great. If they go big with a AAA horror game, could do really well. Shift Up seem to have a good handle on tech + budgeting and are just an all around cool company.

This news story is one of the best news stories of 2026!!! LOVE IT!!!

Kim is a big fan of Resident Evil. Besides a Nikke-RE collab, in the last year's April's Fool he baited lot of people with a fake 3D Nikke version that looked like a Resident Evil/Dino Crisis clone.
