Shinji Mikami’s next game,Hi-Fi Rush, is out on Xbox Game Pass today. The Japanese developer revealed his new rhythm action game and a surprise release on Wednesday during anXboxandBethesdaproduct showcase.
Tango Gameworks‘ last major project was thePS5console exclusiveGhostwire: Tokyo.
VGC’sGhostwire: Tokyo reviewcalled it a “memorable but flawed horror-action game”, saying its unique setting was let down by repetitive gameplay.
“At times it feels like the game’s incredible art direction, music and visual style deserve a game that’s better mechanically, but when it all comes together, Ghostwire Tokyo is one of the more memorable recent games in the triple-A space, if you can ignore its gameplay stumbles,” we wrote.
Tango Gameworks’ other recent project, a mobile title names HeroDice, was shut down last year.
Last year, Tango Gameworks founder Shinji Mikami said he wanted the Ghostwire Tokyo developer towork on smaller and non-horror games in the future.

Speaking in an issue ofFamitsu– transcribed by VGC – the veteran game developer said that he wanted people to stop associating the studio with a single genre, and that there were plans to make non-horror games in the future.
“I hope to eventually change the image that Tango Gameworks currently has,” Mikami explained in the interview. “At the moment, we are still seen as a studio that specialises only in survival horror.
“Of course, it’s nice to have fans think of us as a studio with a reputation for developing survival horror games. But we also want to be viewed as a studio that can create a wider variety of games. We will be releasing more and more new games in the future, starting with Ghostwire: Tokyo, so please give us your support.”
