You can be sad about tango, you can think hifi rush was as dope as you want, at the end of the day…. No one bought the shyt.
it was launched on gamepass!

did you forget the best value in gaming?

of course no one bought it :mjlol:.

Game never stood a chance and just got wrapped in MS nonsense. Now they are dead.

I don't know what to think about this one.
Sucks for the folks being laid off.

Writing was on the wall for Arkane. I’m not sure they could restore their rep to get funding for another AAA.

Tango went with a passion project that delivered to critics. Not sure there, but it’s likely they’re going to focus on a slew of AAA games.

Whether that’s for one last hurrah at pushing Xbox hardware or trimming the fat as strictly a publisher is tbd.

Sony Stans really in here like roaches when PlayStation has closed more studios in the last 4 years than anyone else.

Studios that made games like hi-fi rush.

Tbh I'm shocked it took this long to start closing studios and consolidating internally, and I suspect this is just the beginning.
