Last year, Xbox hit a rare and much-needed home run when it released 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the outstanding Hi-Fi Rush as an at-the-time exclusive that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ended up being my🌼 Game of the Year for 2023. Tango Gameworks' masterfully crafted rhythmic platformer is a true gem, but Xbox decided t♋o rew🅰ard one of its most critically-acclaimed studios by shutting them down back in May.

That was already heartbreaking enough, but it was made worse when reports suggested that Tango had already been working on a pitch for Hi-Fi Rush 2. In what I consider to be one of the brighter moments of the year, Krafton en♋ded up saving the day by buying the studio and 💟the rights to Hi-Fi Rush, leading many to assume that a sequel was definitely going to happe𝓰n.

Hi-Fi Rush 2 Is Probably Happening, But It's Not Set In Stone Yet

For most of 2024 since it was announced that Krafton had acquired Tango Gameworks, that has been the general belief. I mean, Hi-Fi Rush 2 was about to be pitched and Krafton specifically mentioned the series as soಞmething it wants more of, so why wouldn't it be basically guaranteed, right? Well, that's not exac🍌tly how things are going down.

Earlier today, , including studio head Colin Mack, Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas, and Hi-Fi Rush project manager Kazuaki Egashira, where they talked about what's next for the studio. Surpris🧸ingly, despite what's been claimed in the past, Hi-Fi Rush 2 isn't guaranteed to be 𝔉that next thing.

When asked about a sequel, Mack said that the team is positively considering it, but that it's not at the stage yet where it can confirm it's going to happen. Johanas said that ♈Tango has a lot of love for Hi-Fi Rush, but that the studio as a whole is currently considering various opportunities for its next projec🥃t.

We are considering a sequel positively. We are not yet at the stage where we can say specifically, ‘This is what we're goi💃ng to do.' - Colin Mack

What this essentially means is tജhat, even though Tango was going to pitch Hi-Fi Rush 2 when it was owned by Xbox, it's currently considering what to do next under Krafton and want♕s to be able to do new things alongside a potential sequel. It's still likely to happen (dear god, please), but it's not as set in stone as we all believed.
