Microsoft and Xbox have stirred up controversy once again with a recent decision to shut down multiple experienced development studios. Among those affected is Tango Gameworks, the Japanese studio behind Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within. Fans have rallied behind the team on social media, with even Remedy offering their support. The Finnish studio is extending a welcoming hand to the displaced developers.
Remedy Entertainment’s gesture comes from the deep influence Tango Gameworks had on their recent projects. The success of Alan Wake 2 was inspired by The Evil Within series, with its dark imagery and mystical storyline. The unique gameplay of Hi-Fi Rush also left a lasting impression on the Remedy team.
“In creating Alan Wake 2, we drew inspiration from The Evil Within series. It’s a shame we won’t see more from Tango Gameworks. We have openings at Remedy, so reach out!”
— shared Kyle Rowley, game designer of Alan Wake 2.
He emphasized the importance of such talent in the gaming industry today and expressed eagerness to collaborate with the displaced Tango Gameworks developers affected by Microsoft’s decision.
