Founded in March 2010 by Japanese creative director Shinji Mikami, previously of Capcom, the company was acquired by ZeniMax Media in October that year. Tango Gameworks developed The Evil Within, a well-received survival horror game, which was released in 2014, and The Evil Within 2, released in 2017. HistoryThe studio was founded on 1 March 2010 by Shinji Mikami,[1] the creator of the Resident Evil series,[2][3][4] after quitting his position at Capcom.[5] Mikami had been a producer at Capcom but sought to be more involved in creative aspects of game development with his new company.[6] Tango was originally located in the Odaiba district of Tokyo, and employed 12 individuals.[7] Early advertisements for the company included an Adobe Flash-based browser game titled Harakiri, in which the player would cut off Mikami's head with a katana.[8] MadWorld director Shigenori Nishikawa left PlatinumGames to join Mikami's new venture in May 2010.[9][10][11] He was followed by former Grasshopper Manufacture composer Masafumi Takada, and ex-Capcom artist Naoki Katakai and programmer Shinichiro Ishikawa in November that year.[12] On 28 October 2010, amid financial trouble at Tango,[13] ZeniMax Media, parent company of American publisher Bethesda Softworks, announced that they had acquired the studio.[14] Tango was merged with ZeniMax Media's Asian offices, ZeniMax Asia K.K., making Tango its division, and renaming it Tango Gameworks.[15] ZeniMax Media had previously raised {{US$|150 million|link=yes}} in private funding.[16] Tango Gameworks started teasing the first game by releasing contextless sketches in November 2010,[17][18][19] as well as production photos and concept art in December 2010.[20][21] By this point, the company had 65 employees, with Mikami aiming seeking to employ up to 100 in the future.[22] During the first two years at Tango Gameworks, Mikami primarily focused on working with Grasshopper Manufacture on Shadows of the Damned, an action game,[23][24] and with PlatinumGames on Vanquish,[25] however, he found himself drawing back to being creative director over a survival horror genre, a genre he instantiated with the first Resident Evil, with Tango Gameworks, as soon as both other projects were released.[26] Tango Gameworks' first game was formally teased in April 2012 under the codename Zwei,[27] accompanied by new concept art.[28][29] The and officially announced as The Evil Within in April 2013.[30] The game was released by Bethesda Softworks in October 2014 to positive reception.[31][32] A sequel to the game, The Evil Within 2, was leaked in March 2017,[33][34] and anew in June 2017,[35] and announced in June 2017.[36] The game was released by Bethesda Softworks on Friday the 13th in October 2017.[37] Games developed
