Today, Xbox announced it's shutting down three studios and merging another, including Tango Gameworks, known for The Evil Within series. This signals a significant change within Xbox Studios.
Hi-Fi Rush from Tango Gameworks was a notable departure from their horror genre, offering a colorful cast and a soundtrack that won many hearts, showcasing potential for originality. Its closure amidst positive reception is unexpected and disappointing.
The closure of Tango Gameworks after the release of Hi-Fi Rush, a unique and well-received game, hints at shifting priorities within Microsoft's first-party studios. The closure comes as a surprise in the midst of Xbox's acquisition and expansion efforts.
The closure of Tango Gameworks, despite Hi-Fi Rush's positive reception and originality, highlights the challenges and uncertainties faced by developers in the volatile job market. The closure raises questions about Xbox's consolidation strategies and impact on smaller studios.
