Krafton, the publisher of PUBG, has acquired Tango Gameworks, ensuring the future of the studio renowned for the 2023 hit game Hi-Fi Rush. This acquisition comes after turbulent times for Tango Gameworks following Microsoft's announcement of the studio's closure, despite the success of Hi-Fi Rush. Founded by Shinji Mikami in 2010, Tango Gameworks is known for titles like The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo, but those franchises remain with Microsoft. Krafton plans to support Tango in developing new Hi-Fi Rush content and other projects.

What does Krafton's acquisition mean for Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush?

The acquisition by Krafton secures the future of Tango Gameworks, allowing them to continue developing new titles including sequels to the successful Hi-Fi Rush and potentially expand on other projects. This move not only revitalizes the studio but also promises fans of the franchise new content in the future.

Hi-Fi Rush is a unique rhythm-action game that was praised for its engaging gameplay and vibrant art style. The game's success demonstrated that there is a significant audience for innovative gaming experiences, which may prompt Tango Gameworks to explore new directions under Krafton’s support. The studio's legacy includes renowned horror titles, so fans are excited to see how they will blend different genres in future releases.
