Estar a cargo VS estar al mando - both in charge of. Any subtle differences here?

Platinum Games podría estar a cargo de Metal Gear Solid Rising

Could al mando work here too or is it more military?

Platinum Games podría estar al mando de Metal Gear Solid Rising

Platinum Games could be in charge (of making the game) Metal Gear Solid Rising

Gracias.

Estar al mando (de) can also be used to say "to be in command (of)" in addition to "to be in charge of".

Not native so I'm not sure if in that specific example it would sound too military-y, but I know I hear "a cargo" on a much more frequent basis.
