Krafton Confirms its Acquisition of Tango Gameworks Doesn’t Include The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo

As a long-time fan of Tango Gameworks and their unique blend of horror and action, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions when I heard the news about Krafton acquiring the studio. On one hand, I was thrilled at the prospect of seeing more of their innovative games in the future. But on the other, I was concerned that some of my favorite Tango Gameworks titles might not be under the same roof.


In an unexpected yet delightful turn of events, it’s been announced that Krafton has taken over Tango Gameworks, following Microsoft’s closure of the studio earlier this year. The acquisition includes the rights to the popular game, Hi-Fi Rush, and Krafton has expressed plans for further development. While fans rejoice at the resurrection of the studio and its IP, there have been questions about whether other Tango Gameworks properties would also be transferred. Now, we have some answers on that matter.

As a gamer, I’ve learned that my favorite game studio, Tango Gameworks, has been acquired by Krafton – but here’s the twist: only Hi-Fi Rush is part of the deal in terms of intellectual properties they’re taking over. That means The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo will continue to be owned by Microsoft. It’s unclear if Krafton has any plans for these games, but one thing’s for sure – Tango Gameworks and Krafton won’t be collaborating on them in the future.

Regarding “Hi-Fi Rush”, it’s exciting to speculate about potential sequels down the line. However, what we might find intriguing in the near future is whether this game will be available on Nintendo Switch (or its upcoming version). Rumors preceding Tango’s acquisition by Microsoft hinted at such a release, as did a PEGI rating.
