Krafton Rescues Tango Gameworks, Plans Hi-Fi Rush 2 with Open World Elements

After Microsoft's unexpected closure of Tango Gameworks, Krafton acquires the studio and its Hi-Fi Rush IP, aiming to innovate with a more dynamic sequel.

Tango Gameworks was shut down by Microsoft in May, but Krafton acquired the studio and the Hi-Fi Rush IP in August.
Hi-Fi Rush 2 was already in development when Krafton took over, with plans to introduce more open world elements and advanced rhythm action technology.
Krafton aims to ensure Hi-Fi Rush 2 surpasses fan expectations by refining the game and not rushing its release.
The original Hi-Fi Rush may receive additional DLC and be released on more platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
Approximately 70 to 80 former Tango employees have rejoined the studio under Krafton, with plans to expand the team to around 90 to 100 members.
