PUBG publisher rescues Hi-FI Rush studio from closure

After being subjected to significant layoffs and potential closure, Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks will receive a second chance following the acquisition by PUBG publisher Krafton Inc. The former Microsoft studio will relinquish The Evil Within and Ghostwire Tokyo but retain the Hi-Fi Rush IP as part of the deal.

The two gaming conglomerates have reached a deal, first reported Aug. 12 by Windows Central, to transfer Tango Gameworks to Krafton Inc., known for publishing games such as PUBG and The Callisto Protocol. The South Korean publisher will also acquire the beloved Hi-Fi Rush IP, which fans believed would be killed off following the massive cuts at Microsoft, which Tango Gameworks was part of.
