The Return of Tango Gameworks: A New Chapter Unfolds

It’s been a year since Microsoft shut down Tango Gameworks, the developer behind the critically acclaimed rhythm action title Hi-Fi Rush, as part of a larger effort to focus on "high-impact titles." However, the Japanese studio has been given a new lease on life, and it’s now back with a bang. On Monday, Tango Gameworks unveiled its new website, complete with a fresh logo and branding, marking the beginning of a "new era" and direction for the studio.

A New Creative Workshop

The new website showcases the studio’s vision, philosophy, and details on team members, open positions, and more. According to Tango Gameworks, the new logo and brand design are meant to encapsulate the studio’s vision as a "creative workshop": a place where creators have ownership of their work, and their individual contributions come together into games that feel "handmade with soul." This approach is a testament to the studio’s commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans.

Ambitious New Project in the Works

Tango Gameworks has also announced that it has started work on its "ambitious" next project, although details about the game are scarce. The studio has listed a host of open positions for the unannounced action game on the website’s Careers page, indicating that the project is still in its early stages. While we don’t know much about the game yet, one thing is certain – Tango Gameworks is back, and it’s ready to take on new challenges.

Join the Journey

As Tango Gameworks embarks on this new chapter, the studio is inviting like-minded developers to join the team. With a focus on creativity, innovation, and teamwork, the studio is looking for talented individuals who share its passion for game development. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, Tango Gameworks wants to hear from you.

A New Chapter Under Krafton

The rebranding and new project announcement mark a significant return for Tango Gameworks, which was acquired by Krafton in August 2024. The deal, which included intellectual property rights to Hi-Fi Rush, marked Krafton’s "first significant investment in the Japanese video game market." As an independent development studio based in Tokyo, Tango Gameworks will work on new IPs under Krafton, alongside building upon existing ones.

A Partnership Built on Innovation

According to Krafton, the partnership is built on a shared commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans. "KRAFTON intends to support the Tango Gameworks team to continue its commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans," the company said at the time of the acquisition.

What’s Next for Tango Gameworks?

As Tango Gameworks looks to the future, one thing is clear – the studio is dedicated to creating games that resonate with players around the world. With a new project in the works and a renewed focus on innovation, the studio is poised to make a significant impact on the gaming industry. Whether you’re a fan of Hi-Fi Rush or just excited to see what’s next from Tango Gameworks, one thing is certain – the studio’s return is a reason to be excited.
