Tango Gameworks, which was saved by South Korean publisher Krafton from closure after Microsoft unceremoniously shuttered the studio earlier this year, is already discussing its sequel plans for its 2023 hit game, Hi-Fi Rush. According to the publisher which acquired Tango, Hi-Fi Rush 2 was already in the works for at least six months before Microsoft let the studio go. Furthermore, it seems like Tango is trying to go for an open world experience for the sequel.
Krafton head of corporate development Maria Park told GamesIndustry.biz that Hi-Fi Rush 2 is currently on hold at Tango Gameworks until Microsoft can transfer all of the related assets to the South Korean publisher.
Park told the media outlet that Tango hopes to create a more open world experience for the sequel:
“They want to make sure [it] surpasses the expectations of the existing fans. For instance, some of the feedback about Hi-Fi Rush was that some people felt it was [just] going through factories, so now they want to give a more open world type of experience. I don’t think it’s going to be completely open world, but a more dynamic environment [that] you play in. Also, having more advanced technology applied to the rhythm action so that it feels more synchronised.”
Additionally, Park also mentioned that Tango Gameworks is eager to develop DLC for Hi-Fi Rush and get the award-winning game on more platforms such as Nintendo Switch:
“That’s what the team really wants. I think [they] want to work on Hi-Fi Rush DLC [too] because they are dedicated to ensuring that Hi-Fi Rush 2 upholds high standards of quality. They don’t want to rush the sequel but take the necessary time to refine the game and come up with a different experience.”
Microsoft currently retains the rights to other IP from Tango including Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within. It’s not known what Microsoft will do with these IP now that the original developer is no longer part of Xbox Game Studios.
