She wants to work on something full of dark jokes
One of the bright spots of E3 in 2019 was Ikumi Nakamura, who made amemorably enthusiastic announcementfor (still upcoming)GhostWire: Tokyo, on which she was then the creative director. GhostWire looked intriguing and Nakamura’s excitement was a hit. However, she announced only a few months after that successful reception that she haddecided to leave Tango Gameworks. In a new interview, Nakamura explores some spooky abandoned buildings while explaining the difficult decision to leave GhostWire behind and her plans to open her own studio to work on a game full of dark jokes.

“I decided to use that experience to open my own small studio and build my IP,” she says. “I want to try my hand at an IP again in that studio. This is what I’m working on right now.” She says she’ll act as creative director in her new studio as well. She doesn’t get into any real details or announcements, of course. Her interview with Cutscenes is more a reflection on the trajectory of her career than a space for marketing.
It’ll probably be quite a while before we hear anything more concrete about Nakamura’s new studio or what it will work on. Her excitement for Ghostwire: Tokyo was seriously catchy though, so I’m plenty interested in finding out what she’ll be involved with next.
