So, it’s been over a year since Krafton bought Tango Gameworks and the rights to Hi-Fi Rush, and now they’ve officially taken over publishing and supporting the game. Honestly, it doesn’t change much in the game itself, but if you’re looking at the game on Steam, the Xbox store, or anywhere else, you’ll now see Krafton listed as the publisher instead of Bethesda. It’s just a name change, really!
Krafton announced that Hi-Fi Rush will receive an update on December 4th to reflect the change in ownership. This update will likely swap out the Bethesda logo at the game’s start screen with the Krafton logo, but the core gameplay will remain the same.
Starting now and until an update is released, the online features of Hi-Fi Rush that connect to Bethesda.net will be turned off. This might cause some error messages while playing. Don’t worry though – your saved games, progress, achievements, and any other account information will be perfectly safe.
The company stated that other unforeseen problems might arise during this time. They appreciate your patience and ask that you reach out to Krafton Customer Support if you experience any difficulties for quick help.
In August 2024, Krafton acquired the Hi-Fi Rush game and its development team after Microsoft decided to close the studio. This closure was part of a broader restructuring at Microsoft that also impacted several other studios, including Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Studios, and Roundhouse Games.
When Krafton announced the acquisition, they stated their plan to work with Xbox and ZeniMax to ensure a seamless transition for Tango Gameworks. This collaboration will allow the studio’s talented team to continue working on Hi-Fi Rush and develop new games. Krafton is committed to supporting Tango Gameworks’ dedication to creating innovative and engaging experiences for players.
Following the announcement, Krafton clarified that titles like Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within, also created by Tango Gameworks, weren’t included in the deal. Microsoft will continue to own those games.
There’s been talk of a follow-up to the game Hi-Fi Rush, and Krafton executive Maria Park has confirmed it’s happening. She explained the sequel will feature more interactive and expansive environments, giving players greater freedom to explore with a more open-world design.
Tango Gameworks announced earlier this year that they’d opened new offices and were hiring developers for a new, unannounced action game. The studio’s revamped team includes several developers who worked there before Microsoft acquired it, such as Jon Johanas, Masaaki Yamada, Kazuaki Egashira, and Yosuke Ishikawa.
