Shinji Mikami thought Tango Gameworks would be safe from closure “as long as they continued to make Hi-Fi Rush games”.
Mikami, who spoke to IGN alongside Suda 51, was the founder of Tango Gameworks but left in February 2023. The studio was then closed by Microsoft earlier this year, before being acquired by PUBG publisher Krafton last month.
“I had thought the studio would be safe as long as they continued to make Hi-Fi Rush games,” said Mikami. “That’s one of the reasons I left Tango Gameworks. So I was surprised when the studio was closed down.”
