Japanese developer Tango Gameworks has revealed they’ve been “reborn” after getting acquired and saved by Korean publisher Krafton.<\/p>\n

Previously, the HI-FI RUSH<\/em> (featured above) and Ghostwire: Tokyo<\/em> developer was reportedly shut down by then-owner Microsoft<\/a>, only to get acquired and revived by Krafton a few months later in a new deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Tango Gameworks studio has been reborn as Tango Gameworks Inc., proudly joining KRAFTON Inc,” the developer said in a new message<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They added, “We’re excited to continue crafting games that bring joy to players around the world. Thank you for your continued support as we embark on this new journey!”<\/p>\n

This was the first message posted to Tango Gameworks’ social media after they confirmed they would be shutting down earlier last year.<\/p>\n

Krafton is mostly known for their wildly popular multiplayer shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds<\/em>, though they have numerous upcoming projects like the promising life sim inZOI<\/em><\/a>, which launches soon.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen what Tango Gameworks will be working on next – though many fans are begging for sequels to the aforementioned HI-FI RUSH, Ghostwire: Tokyo<\/em>, and maybe even a sequel to The Evil Within<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
