Instead of succumbing to cynicism, we’ve opted to maintain optimism about the video game industry this year, disregarding for now the widespread job losses in development and publishing last year that may continue to impact many more in the future. We’d rather zero in on one beacon of hope: Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks has miraculously emerged from the ashes, reborn under KRAFTON, and will now operate as Tango Gameworks Inc., signifying a new lease on life.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve been closely following the industry news, and it’s no secret that 20XX has seen its share of unfortunate studio closures, layoffs, and furloughs. However, among all the grim headlines, one story stood out as a beacon of hope: the quiet efforts of Korean publisher KRAFTON (known for their hit game PUBG). When Xbox decided to unceremoniously part ways with Tango and other Bethesda studios, KRAFTON stepped in to safeguard the Tokyo-based team. This is one of the rare instances where a situation, often ending in despair, has led to something more positive.
On X, Tango shared delightful news, bringing a touch of optimism to everyone’s feed. It seems that KRAFTON isn’t banking on Hi-Fi Rush 2 being profitable, but rather keeping their team going for the passion of the game and its potential, which is truly heartwarming. Isn’t it great to see such dedication?
Is it likely that the gaming industry in 2025 will present novel aspects or continue along familiar lines? Given current trends, it’s safe to assume there will still be games, but potentially fewer game studios by then. Let’s keep the conversation civil and constructive in the comments below.
