Tango founder Mikami “surprised” by studio closure

Shinji Mikami, founder of Tango Gameworks, was surprised by Microsoft's decision to close the studio, believing it would be secure as long as it produced Hi-Fi Rush titles. He left Tango Gameworks partly due to this belief. Following the studio's closure, Krafton acquired Tango Gameworks and the Hi-Fi Rush intellectual property, which Mikami viewed positively. He emphasized that making a good game is crucial for a studio's survival, rather than just creating a popular one. Mikami departed from Tango Gameworks in February 2023.
