PUBG publisher Krafton has acquired Tango Gameworks and the Hi-Fi Rush IP from Xbox as part of a 'strategic agreement'.

The firm says it is working with Xbox to enable a 'smooth transition' so that the Tango team can "continue developing the Hi-Fi Rush IP and explore future projects".

Tango Gameworks was one of four Bethesda studios that Microsoft announced plans to shut down back in May. It was formed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami in 2010, and was responsible for The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2 and Ghostwire Tokyo, before launching Hi-Fi Rush in 2023 to critical acclaim. Xbox acquired the studio in 2021 as part of its $7.5 billion purchase of Bethesda parent company Zenimax.

Tango Gameworks are back from the dead. The Hi-Fi Rush studio have been acquired - alongside the IP for future games in the rhythm action series - by South Korean company Krafton, who also own PUBG Studios and Striking Distance, among others. “This strategic move will include the rights to Tango Gameworks’ acclaimed IP, Hi-Fi Rush,” Krafton said in a statement today. I particularly enjoy the hand-rubbing, grinning use of the word ‘strategic’ here. Great news though.

Nedávno bylo překvapivě oznámeno, že společnost Krafton kupuje studio Tango Gameworks, krátce poté, co bylo toto japonské studio začátkem roku uzavřeno společností Microsoft, a že součástí dohody bude také IP adresa Hi-Fi Rush, kterou společnost plánuje v budoucnu rozšířit.

Uprostřed oslav oživení studia a IP se však našlo mnoho těch, které zajímalo, zda i další vlastnosti vyvíjené Tango Gameworks změní majitele, a my v tom nyní máme jasno.

V prohlášení pro MP1st společnost Krafton potvrdila, že akvizice Tango Gameworks zahrnuje pouze Hi-Fi Rush, pokud jde o IP vyvinuté studiem. To znamená The Evil Within a Ghostwire: Tokio zůstane ve vlastnictví Microsoftu. Zda to znamená, že společnost hodlá s těmito vlastnostmi v budoucnu něco dělat, můžeme jen hádat, ale přinejmenším víme, že Tango a Krafton ne.

Co se týče Hi-Fi Rush, i když se pravděpodobně můžeme někdy v budoucnu těšit na pokračování, v krátkodobém horizontu by mělo být zajímavé sledovat, zda hra vyjde pro Nintendo Switch (nebo jeho připravovaného nástupce). Úniky informací před uzavřením Tanga společností Microsoft naznačovaly, že ano, stejně jako hodnocení PEGI.

Článek Krafton potvrzuje, že akvizice společnosti Tango Gameworks nezahrnuje hry The Evil Within a Ghostwire: Tokyo se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.

The limited release of the inZOI Character Studio is just hours away and will run from August 21 to August 25. You’ll have the chance to make as many characters as you like, get to grips with the incredibly in-depth customization features, and share your creations through Canvas. 

Before you can dive into the Character Studio, though, you’re going to need to set up a Krafton ID in order to log in to Inzoi. This is a relatively straightforward process, and if you’ve ever played any other Krafton games (PUBG or Subnautica, for instance), you’ll likely already have one. 

If you haven’t got a Krafton ID already, you’ll need to follow these steps:

• Head over to the Krafton Accounts site and set up a Krafton ID using your email, Google account, Facebook account, or one of the many other options
• Once signed up, go to Linked Accounts and link your Steam account to your Krafton ID

When you’ve downloaded the Inzoi Character Studio through Steam, you’ll be able to immediately log in with your Krafton ID and dive straight into making your ideas a reality. 

If you’re hoping to upload your realized creations through Inzoi's built-in sharing platform, Canvas, you’ll need to select a separate nickname for the platform. This nickname will be unique to you, and you’ll be able to continue using it upon the full release of Inzoi later this year. 

Inzoi will also hold an event during the time in which the Character Studio is available to play. To be in the running to win unspecified ‘special gifts’, you need to upload your customized Zois to social media using the following three hashtags:

• #inZOI 
• #CAZ 
• #CreateAZoi

Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to fill out this google form, including a link to your social media post, to be entered with a chance to win.
