Tango Gameworks, the renowned Japanese developer, is exploring the possibility of creating a sequel to their 2023 hit, Hi-Fi Rush. In a chat with IGN, Colin Mack, the head of the studio, revealed that while a follow-up is being considered with enthusiasm, there’s no concrete plan in place just yet.
“We’re thinking about a sequel in a positive light,” Mack conveyed to IGN. “However, we’re not at the point where we can definitively say, ‘This is our next step.'”
Adding to this, John Johanas, the director of Hi-Fi Rush, shared that the game holds a special place in the hearts of many team members. “Our team has a lot of love for Hi-Fi Rush,” Johanas said. “We’re evaluating several options and exploring various potentials.”
Meanwhile, project manager Kazuaki Egashira highlighted one of Tango Gameworks’ defining qualities: its drive to consistently craft groundbreaking experiences. Egashira remarked, “While Hi-Fi Rush has gained popularity as a fresh IP, if it were to remain unchanged, it would risk becoming obsolete over time.”
For Egashira, Tango Gameworks is synonymous with embracing new challenges. “It’s important to focus on creating new experiences and ensuring that developers remain at the forefront, all while maintaining our passion,” they emphasized.
