A surprise entry in today’s Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct today (although we had an idea earlier in the week), Tango Gameworks has announced its next game – HI-FI RUSH.
Right from the get-go it looks to be a massive departure from what we’re used to seeing in Tango’s horror-flavoured output, instead giving us a brightly-coloured, cel-shaded action game with a ton of attitude and larger-than-life characters. As studio head Shinji Mikami himself puts it, he never would’ve thought of a game like it.
HI-FI RUSH is pegged as a “rhythm action game”, where your moves all sync with the music to create an awesome soundscape as you fight, not unlike the excellent No Straight Roads from 2020. Performing more on beat will net you better success in battle, and all of the music and pulsating environments will come together to look superb in the moment.
The best part? HI-FI Rush is available on Xbox Series X|S via Game Pass and PC now! Get it here.
