As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Tango Gameworks is back in action! After being under Microsoft’s wing and then acquired by KRAFTON, they’ve unveiled their fresh new website and a refurbished logo. The ‘T’ in the logo seems to be influenced by the distinctive design of Japanese torii gates, those iconic wooden structures surrounding shrines.
Primarily, what’s noteworthy is that Tango is currently seeking developer talent for their inaugural project post-restructuring. This project, labeled as an action game, is set to be their first venture since the company’s reformation. The job postings hint at the game being a 3D production, specifically designed using Unreal Engine 5.
Back in 2010, I was thrilled to learn about Tango Gameworks, a gaming studio founded by none other than Shinji Mikami, who had previously made waves at Capcom. However, the studio faced some financial challenges and eventually found itself under the ZeniMax umbrella. Fast forward to 2021, ZeniMax became part of the Microsoft family, making Tango Gameworks a part of Xbox Studios.
Known for its nail-biting survival horror action games, the studio took everyone by surprise with the release of Hi-Fi Rush in 2023. This game demonstrated the incredible versatility of their skills, leaving fans like me eagerly anticipating what they’d come up with next!
Yet, the studio wasn’t afforded the opportunity to build upon its success, as it was shut down by Microsoft in 2024 during a large cost-cutting initiative, which also included Arkane Austin, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios. A reprieve came a few months afterward with KRAFTON, a South Korean publisher and developer, purchasing the studio and some of its intellectual property from Microsoft. They were able to rehire approximately half of the previous workforce, though this still leaves several open positions as the studio begins work on its latest project.
In 2023, Shinji Mikami left Tango, the studio where he was working, and established his own company named KAMUY in 2024. As a result, he’s not involved in this project restart.
