Krafton Completes Acquisition of Publishing Rights for Hi-Fi Rush

The South Korean company Krafton has acquired the publishing rights to the popular rhythm-action game Hi-Fi Rush. It’s worth noting that despite the game’s success, its developer, Tango Gameworks, was downsized by Microsoft in May 2024, and investors from Krafton came to the rescue of the developers. Since then, the company has been focused on acquiring all rights to Hi-Fi Rush, a process that was completed this morning.

The final changes will take effect on December 4, coinciding with a special update for the game. This update will specifically remove the connection to Bethesda.net and eliminate any references to Microsoft as the publisher.

Under the auspices of Krafton, the team at Tango Gameworks aims to not only expand the Hi-Fi Rush franchise but also to develop new series. Unfortunately, they will no longer have the opportunity to work on The Evil Within or Ghostwire: Tokyo, as the rights to those titles remain with Microsoft.
