The Evil Within’s Creators Made A Colorful Rhythm Game And It’s Out Today

Tango Gameworks surprised everyone by announcing Hi-Fi Rush, its next game, during Bethesda and Xbox’s Developer_Direct streams. If you’re familiar with the previous games by this studio, you’ll notice a drastic change in tone, style and gameplay. 

Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm action where combat, traversal, and even cutscenes all play to the beat of the game’s soundtrack. Aesthetically, Hi-Fi Rush sits somewhere between Insomniac Games’ Sunset Overdrive and a Saturday morning cartoon – which is to say, bright, over-the-top, and colorful. This is a far cry from Tango’s previous outings like Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within, both of which emphasize terror and the supernatural.

Hi-Fi Rush will be available via Game Pass later today for Xbox and PC consoles. John Johanas is the director. He also directed The Evil Within 2. The film features music licensed from Nine Inch Nails (The Black Keys), The Prodigy and many other artists.
