Tango Gameworks, the new studio headed up by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, has just been bought by Zenimax Media, the firm which also owns Oblivion developers Bethesda and Doom creators id.
Mikami, whose last project was the just-released Vanquish, will remain in Tokyo with his team, where he will remain as the head of the studio and take the role of creative lead on “all future projects”. Tango’s games will be published by Bethesda Softworks, whose most recent title was Fallout: New Vegas
Seems like a strange fit, but in this day and age – when Dead or Alive’s creator is making games for THQ and Konami has Spaniards make a Castlevania game – anything’s possible.

There will be no western or eastern RPGs any more just RPGs.
Great!!!
