Microsoft’s first major showcase of the new year will take place tomorrow, January 25, in the evening: the Xbox Developer_Direct. A potential announcement there has already been leaked in advance: Hi-Fi RUSH.
Microsoft and Bethesda should probably not really like that: A first new announcement of the Xbox Showcase scheduled for tomorrow called Developer_Direct has now potentially leaked onto the Internet a day before. According to this, the developer Tango Gameworks, which belongs to Bethesda, should introduce a new title with Hi-Fi RUSH.
The studio was founded by legendary Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami and has primarily attracted attention in the past with the horror games The Evil Within and most recently Ghostwire: Tokyo. Currently, it seems that they are once again devoting themselves to a completely new brand.
The corresponding information comes from billbil-kun from Dealabs, which is now considered one of the most reliable leakers on the net. In recent months, the PS Plus line-ups have been regularly announced via the same source, even before Sony officially confirmed them. The success rate is 100 percent; in any case, billbil-kun has not yet attracted attention with incorrect information.
Accordingly, the new statements of the leaker also have a lot of weight: Tango Gameworks is working on the new title Hi-Fi RUSH, which is to be “announced and/or released soon”. The said announcement is scheduled for Developer_Direct tomorrow, January 25, from 9:00 p.m. In addition, the new game should then be available in a standard and a deluxe edition; the ESRB has also already assigned a teen rating as an age classification.
Hi-Fi RUSH could be a new type of game for Tango Gameworks, because the name doesn’t necessarily suggest a horror game – and it’s precisely in that genre that the Bethesda developer has been primarily on the road up until now. It is fitting that Mikami has also emphasized in the past that he also wants to work on games outside of the horror genre.
Further information – as well as an official confirmation – are expected for tomorrow evening. We will keep you up to date!
