We have good and better news: three months after announcing its closure, Tango Gameworks raises the shutter againAnd not only that, but we will also have future news related to Hi Fi Rush. Of course, the Japanese will no longer work under the umbrella of Bethesda or for Microsoft, but for the South Korean Krafton.
Through a press releaseKrafton itself has welcomed Tango Gameworks to its great international expansion project that, in a sly way, already includes studios such as PUBG Studios, Striking Distance (The Callisto Protocol) or Unknown Worlds (Subnautica). Being the first big bet they make with a Japanese studio and, while we’re at it, giving some clues of what we can expect from this move.
For starters, Krafton’s resurrection of Tango Gameworks not only brings the brand back to life, but also involves bringing back the same team, announcing that work will continue on the game. Expand the Hi-Fi Rush universe along with new projects. At this point it is impossible not to remember that sequel to Hi-Fi Rush that was proposed to Microsoft and finally fell through.

Hi-Fi Rushensuring that this will not affect the continuity of games such as The Evil Within saga, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and that the game itself Hi-Fi Rush will continue to be available on all systems it is already played on.
The possibilities from this point are quite promising: from a version of Hi-Fi Rush for Switch or its successor to the aforementioned sequel and even spin-offs, not to mention the talent of a team with no less than 14 years of experience and very well established in the field of horror games and single-player action when it comes to offering new games.
In a year filled with closures, layoffs and cancellations, we’ve come across a real ray of light. Especially considering that Hi-Fi Rush won us over from the first game after its surprise launch on the same day it was announced and continued to do so after its jump to PS5. In any case, it’s nice to start the week on such a cheerful note.
