The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Hi-Fi Rush devs return, Tango Gameworks studio is back
The developers of the Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within series have officially returned thanks to Krafton.
The developers of Hi-Fi Rush have officially restarted their activities.
Tango Gameworks Studio is returning after a planned shutdown by Microsoft - under (almost) the same name as part of the Krafton group, the publisher of PUBG: Battlegrounds. The studio shared this information in an announcement posted on the developer's site on X.

We have known for a long time that the future of Tango Gameworks is secured. In August, Microsoft announced talks with the Krafton group regarding the acquisition of a Japanese team, though the South Korean company's plans for the studio weren't detailed at that time.
The dev's new announcement also doesn't reveal what the next chapter of Tango Gameworks' history will bring (apart from, of course, game development in general). Other sources tell us that the developer was working on the sequel to Hi-Fi Rush even before Microsoft closed the studio. Krafton representatives have clearly suggested that the publisher is interested in such a project, even if it doesn't make sense financially.
We remind that Tango Gameworks is a Japanese development studio, founded in 2010 by Shinji Mikami - the creator of the Resident Evil series. From 2010 to 2024, the team belonged to the ZeniMax Media corporation, and their specialty was survival horror games developed for personal computers and consoles.
