After Shinji Mikami and Bethesda confirmed his departure from Tango Gameworks, the Japanese creative was present on his Twitter account where he thanked the community for the signs of affection, as the publications that reported his departure were filled with praise and gratitude for the video games he left throughout his career of more than 30 years.

Mikami also pointed out that a younger generation of creatives has risen at Tango Gameworks and he believes they are ready to take over the studio, hence he asked for support for their future videogames. At the same time, the Japanese creative was touched by all the signs of affection from the community and in a brief message he only said "Thank you".

After the founding of Tango Gameworks in 2010, the studio quickly passed that same year to be owned by ZeniMax | Bethesda.
