KRAFTON announced today the acquisition of Tango Gameworks, which Microsoft shut down in May 2024. Moreover, KRAFTON has acquired the Hi-Fi RUSH IP.
As part of this strategic agreement, KRAFTON intends to collaborate with Xbox and ZeniMax to ensure a smooth transition and maintain continuity at Tango Gameworks, allowing the talented team to continue developing the Hi-Fi RUSH IP and explore future projects.
KRAFTON claims that it intends to support the Tango Gameworks team to continue its commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans.
The company also noted that there will be no impact on the existing game catalog of The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the original Hi-Fi RUSH game, and they will remain available everywhere they are available today.
Do note that while KRAFTON now owns the Hi-Fi RUSH IP, it does NOT own The Evil Within or Ghostwire: Tokyo. These IPs remain in the hands of Bethesda and Microsoft.
It will be interesting to see how many of the former Tango Gameworks devs will return to the studio. Because, right now, the people behind what most gamers loved about that studio are not there. Still, this is at least good news.
Stay tuned for more!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
