Ikumi Nakamura Leaves Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ikumi Nakamura, E3 2019's brightest star, is leaving Tango Gameworks and her Bethesda project for unknown pastures. The former Ghostwire: Tokyo director somehow managed to arguably outshine Keanu Reeves at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo with her charming presentation that launched a thousand crushes (not to mention tons of fan art). On Wednesday, she announced in a tweet that she was leaving her position of Creative Art Director at Tango Studios.

Bethesda told Polygon, “We can confirm that Nakamura-san has decided to leave Tango and we wish her the best of luck in whatever is next for her. Tango continues to be led by the legendary Shinji Mikami and his talented team in the development of GhostWire: Tokyo. We look forward to sharing more on what they’re creating in the coming months.”
For now, let us remember the glory of Nakamura's brief but highly-memorable (and meme-able) presentation:
