Tango Gameworks Revived Under Krafton as Tango Gameworks Inc.

The studio behind Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within gets a second chance after being shuttered by Microsoft in 2024.

Tango Gameworks, known for Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within, has been relaunched as Tango Gameworks Inc. under new ownership by Krafton.
The studio was closed by Microsoft in May 2024 despite Hi-Fi Rush being described as a 'breakout hit' by Xbox leadership in 2023.
Krafton acquired the studio and the Hi-Fi Rush IP in August 2024, emphasizing its commitment to preserving Tango's creative legacy.
Krafton CEO Changhan Kim stated that profitability is not the primary goal for projects like Hi-Fi Rush 2, which remains unconfirmed but could be explored.
Plans for the studio include hiring at least 100 people, potentially expanding the team further to support future projects.
