Ghostwire: Tokyo hits PS5 and PC tomorrow, March 25th. Yep, even though the developer is now owned by Xbox, its latest game is a PS5 console exclusive, at launch, due to pre-existing arrangements. However, they're already working on a brand new game.
In an interview with Famitsu, transcribed by VGC, legendary Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami talked all things Tango Gameworks, his current studio. He spoke about Ghostwire plenty, but the developer also touched on what's next for Tango.
John Johanas, who directed the DLC for The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2, is working on a completely new title that is the complete opposite of horror [...] It’s a really good game, so keep your eyes peeled.
On that horror theme, Mikami also discussed how he believes Ghostwire "is not a horror game", and how the studio wants to shed its reputation as a team that "specialises only in survival horror".
Of course, it’s nice to have fans think of us as a studio with a reputation for developing survival horror games. But we also want to be viewed as a studio that can create a wider variety of games. We will be releasing more and more new games in the future, starting with Ghostwire: Tokyo, so please give us your support.
We will be supporting Ghostwire: Tokyo, once it hits Xbox that is. The game has a one-year console exclusivity period on PS5, meaning the game can come to Xbox Series X|S anytime from March 25th, 2023.
As Tango Gameworks is under Bethesda's wing, the developer is owned by Xbox, and Ghostwire: Tokyo's eventual Series X|S release will hit Game Pass on day one.
Are you looking forward to Ghostwire on Xbox? Or Tango's next game? Let us know in the comments.

A good one this time?
I'll happily wait till next year for this game. Looking forward to playing deathloop in October/November time. Bless game pass and its tremendous value.
@Medic_Alert Agreed. Also, both Evil Within games are brill, looking forward to what's next from them.
@Medic_Alert
Exactly. To me, a 7/10 was always considered a good game.
Also, if The Evil Within 3 is announced, along with a Prey sequel, and Starfield turns out to be a banger, I would definitely consider getting an XSX.
Ghostwire tokyo looks fantastic.
Looking forward to playing this game. I own a PS5 as well as a Series X, but the Xbox has always been my preferred platform, so I am happy to await its arrival on the Xbox, just as I am with Deathloop. I have way too much to play right now anyway...
Like this studio alot and looking foward to playing Ghostwire
Ehh Ghostwire Tokyo probably the last game from Tengo i play so no interest from me
After scalebound and now the debacle that is the initiative and perfect dark, I'll wait for more news.
So no Evil Within 3? That makes me very sad.
Not interested in ghostwire but I do really love the evil within games preferred the first to the second though
@Medic_Alert And the pc and user reviews are sitting at around an 8.
The only way one would think this is a bad game is if you only looked at the PS review or have a very unhealthy obsession with 9 and 10 "masterpieces".
@Rural-Bandit I'm the opposite I buy all my 3rd party games I want on my PS4 & just use my Xbox one for gears, halo, Forza & backwards compatible games although I'm reconsidering getting a ps5 & thinking of getting a series X instead lately
@Rural-Bandit @Would_you_kindly I have tried to do a lot more 3rd party games on PS the last few years, and this week I even went to put my spare PS4 up in the bedroom to help catch up, but the download speed was less than a mbps. Plus, in order to continue games I had started downstairs, I had to manually download my saves. The whole thing was a nightmare.
I put my spare xbox one S upstairs (exact same spot) and I've been getting between 80-180mbps downloads, plus all my game saves automatically sync (plus the cloud saves are free).
Plus the whole BC support, and the Xbox One X (and I guess the Series X) being stronger hardware.
I've found using Xbox as the main console, and PS for exclusives, and Switch for exclusives and portable titles is really what works for me.
I was excited for Ghostwire, but I canceled my pre-order because of mixed reviews. I'll wait a few months and pick up a copy for PS5 for $30 or less, like I did with Deathloop. I love my PS5 and Series X, but I usually buy multiplats for PS5 because of the Dualsense controller! Even though I do love my new Elite Series 2 Xbox controller. Hmm decisions...
Hopefully we will see Evil Within 3 someday...
@Would_you_kindly I have been a lifelong Nintendo player with Sony always as my back up. This gen I chose Xbox (mainly due to Doublefine and Bethesda) and I will say, I am absolutely LOVING my series X! There is so much on offer between the Xbox marketplace and Gamepass that I will never play all the titles I want, and the heavy exclusives haven't even started hitting yet! This is going to be an amazing generation for Xbox!
Good, now can we please get Tokyo Ghostwire?
There are many things in this game that only the Japanese can understand. Therefore, a low metascore may not be a correct evaluation.
I wish I could play this game....
So the other director hasn't been working on Evil Within 3 in secret. Arkane haven't been putting out the best games lately imo (and their founder left to make his own game) and now Tango aren't doing it for me either. Arkane and Tanga exclusive games was the main reason I went Xbox this gen. I still love my Xbox though.
