Hi-Fi Rush Developer Tango Gameworks Acquired by Krafton, Will Continue Work on Future Projects
Microsoft shut down Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks, alongside a few other Bethesda-owned studios, in May to shift focus on to its “priority games.” Tango had at the time confirmed its closure, but the Japanese studio has now been acquired by Krafton and will remain open. The South Korean publisher announced Monday that it had integrated Tango Gameworks into its team, marking its “first significant investment in the Japanese video game market.” The deal also includes the intellectual property rights to Hi-Fi Rush, the acclaimed rhythm-based action game from Tango.
