Tango Gameworks will live on, thanks to Krafton
Hi Fi Rush Studio Tango Gameworks saved by PUBG Publisher
Krafton, the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds and The Callisto Protocol, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio responsible for The Evil Within games and Hi-Fi Rush. Tango was shut down by Microsoft and ZeniMax Media in May, but the talent that formed the Tokyo-based studio will be integrated into Krafton, which now owns the rights to Hi-Fi Rush.
In a press release, Krafton said it "intends to work with Xbox and ZeniMax to ensure a smooth transition and maintain continuity at Tango Gameworks, allowing the talented team to continue to develop the Hi-Fi Rush IP and explore future projects." Krafton added that they "intend to support the Tango Gameworks team in continuing their commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans."
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Tango Gameworks creative director John Johanas said: "We're back, baby!"
