Krafton has acquired game developer Tango Gameworks from Microsoft Xbox. The South Korean publisher will take over the Japanese game studio's staff and own the rights to Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within.

Krafton has published a press release stating that they will work together with Microsoft and ZeniMax to handle the acquisition. This is to ensure continued operations at Tango Gameworks and ensure that current employees can continue to work on the Hi-Fi Rush IP and other future projects. Krafton believes the acquisition will not affect Tango Gameworks' current game catalog, but they have yet to make any new game announcements.

Tango Gameworks is a Japanese game studio founded in 2010. The developer released the horror game The Evil Within in 2014, followed by The Evil Within 2 in 2017. In 2021, Microsoft acquired parent company ZeniMax, and Tango Gameworks became part of the American technology company's gaming division: Xbox.

Soon after, in 2022, Tango Gameworks released the action-adventure game Ghostwire Tokyo, followed by Hi-Fi Rush in 2023, a critically acclaimed rhythm action game. Microsoft decided earlier this year to shut down Tango Gameworks, along with several other development studios it had acquired in previous years, such as Arkane Austin and Alpha Dog Studios.
