Tango Gameworks, the developer of the critically acclaimed rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush, has begun early development on its next project. The company stated Monday that it was rebranding and recruiting for many open roles in their unnamed action game. The Japanese firm stated that it was not yet ready to discuss game specifics, but that it was searching for creators who shared its vision for its next project. The update comes a year after Tango Gameworks' parent firm, Microsoft, shut down the studio to focus on "high-impact titles".
Tango Gameworks Returns With Next Project
On Monday, the Hi-Fi Rush developer announced a new website, as well as new branding and logo, ushering in a "new era" and direction for the business. The new website includes the studio's vision and philosophy, as well as information on team members and vacant opportunities.
"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'," Tango Gameworks said in a news statement.
The company also revealed that it had begun work on its "ambitious" next project. Tango did not reveal any specifics about the game, but company did mention a number of available roles for the unannounced action game on its Careers page.
Tango Gameworks is happy to announce the launch of our new website. It details our creative vision and features a new logo that symbolizes our updated brand image.

Tango Gameworks has rebranded and announced a new project, marking its rebirth after being shut down by Microsoft in May of last year, despite releasing the critically praised Hi-Fi Rush. At the time, the Xbox parent closed numerous Bethesda-owned teams, including Tango and Redfall creator Arkane Austin, in order to focus on its most successful games.
Krafton purchased Tango Gameworks in August 2024, marking its "first significant investment in the Japanese video game market." The agreement also includes intellectual property rights for Hi-Fi Rush.
"KRAFTON intends to support the Tango Gameworks team to continue its commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans," the South Korean corporation stated at the time.
Tango Gameworks, an independent development company located in Tokyo, will work on new IPs under Krafton as well as build on current ones.
"Tango Gameworks has always been devoted to creating games based on new, intriguing ideas that our creative teams are enthusiastic about. "Now, as a part of KRAFTON, Inc., we proudly continue this tradition," the studio's new website states, detailing the collaboration with Krafton.
"Since joining KRAFTON, Tango Gameworks has embarked on a new chapter, creating titles that resonate with gamers all around the world. "We remain committed to the creation and growth of distinctive and new IPs, taking on challenges to be a unique voice in the game industry," the developer stated.
