Krafton Inc., the publisher behind PUBG, has acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio behind the critically acclaimed rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush, saving the studio from closure just months after Microsoft announced its shuttering. This acquisition includes the rights to the Hi-Fi Rush IP.
Krafton's Acquisition Secures Hi-Fi Rush's Future
The news follows Microsoft's unexpected decision earlier this year to close Tango Gameworks, a move that surprised many given the success of Hi-Fi Rush. Krafton's acquisition ensures the continuation of the Hi-Fi Rush franchise and opens the door for future projects from the talented Tango Gameworks team. Krafton emphasizes a smooth transition, working closely with Xbox and ZeniMax to maintain continuity for the studio's employees and ongoing projects. They intend to support Tango Gameworks in its continued commitment to innovation and delivering exciting gaming experiences.
