Hi-Fi Rush 2 Developer Aims for a More Open-World Experience

Hi-Fi Rush 2 is set to develop further under Krafton following the acquisition of Tango Gameworks. The new plans include enhancing the game with a more open world experience instead of the linear gameplay of the original. The team at Tango Gameworks has a six-month-old build of Hi-Fi Rush 2 that aims to refine the game based on community feedback, particularly regarding the environment and game dynamics. Krafton will take their time to ensure the sequel meets audience expectations while also pursuing additional content for the original Hi-Fi Rush and a new co-op online game.

Players can expect a more dynamic environment that enhances the rhythm-based action experience, with the goal of making the game world feel more immersive and varied compared to the original's more straightforward factory settings.

Hi-Fi Rush was initially released in January 2023 and quickly became popular for its unique blend of rhythm gameplay with vibrant art style. It was developed by Tango Gameworks, best known for the survival horror series The Evil Within. The transition to Krafton marks an exciting new chapter for Hi-Fi Rush, as the development team looks to push the boundaries of what the sequel can achieve.
