‘Hi-Fi Rush’ releases its latest patch, thanks its audience, and makes us cry a little bit

The complaints, online petitions, and statements from those in charge have all been in vain, and Tango Gameworks has closed for good after fixing the last remaining bugs in ‘Hi-Fi Rush’.

Now it’s finally happened: all the complaints, online petitions, and statements from the responsible parties have been in vain, and Tango Gameworks has closed down for good after polishing the last remaining bugs in ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ with a patch that, in reality, is an excuse to bid farewell to the audience that has supported them until the end. And yes, indeed: it’s incredibly sad and leaves a profound sense of injustice.

Hurry up

There is still some more news about the game before its final demise, such as the physical release by Limited Run Games, but this last patch has given them the opportunity to say goodbye on social media with a “Thanks again for your support to ‘Hi-Fi Rush’. You rock!”. It’s not that the patch has many fixes but it serves to demonstrate the studio’s attention to detail, which could have easily left them unresolved.

For example, small issues with phase transitions, text bugs, or price adjustments to reflect the actual conversion in each country have been resolved. In the end, there is relief in all this feeling of unease: the creators of ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ loved the game to the fullest, and they are surely being sought after in the industry. We just need someone other than Xbox to realize the value of making games that do not surrender to the industry’s unappealable rules. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that this happens soon.

Microsoft has decided to close four Bethesda game studios all at once

We had been relatively calm in the world of the video game industry for a few weeks now, and that’s never a good sign. In fact, today has been a dark day for the workers like few we remember.

We had been having a few relatively calm weeks in the world of the video game industry, and that is never a good sign. In fact, today has been a dark day for workers like few we remember. And it’s not abnormal that, after an acquisition like Bethesda’s, there are layoffs: it’s something we have seen throughout the entire audiovisual industry. But no one expected that four such promising studios of Microsoft’s new darling would close so soon.

It takes two to tango

The studios in question are Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse. Maybe the names don’t ring a bell, but for example, Tango was the creator of ‘Hi-Fi Rush’ and was founded by none other than Shinji Mikami, the father of the ‘Resident Evil’ saga. And what has been the reward for creating one of the best games in recent years? Closing down without mercy.

Arkane Austin, on the other hand, was the second branch of Arkane Studios, who have developed ‘Redfall’, ‘Prey’ or the ‘Dishonored’ franchise, which is no small feat either. If what worries you about all this are the games and not the people, breathe easy: ‘Blade’, which they are working on at Arkane Lyon, is not in danger, but if I were one of their employees, I would start wetting my beard when I see the neighbor’s being cut.

Alpha Dog was a studio that developed mobile games like ‘Mighty Doom’, the latest installment of the ‘Doom‘ franchise that had held a record since 1998. However, it will now close on August 7th, and finally, Roundhouse Games is the only one that has had better luck. At least not everyone will be out of a job as they will be absorbed by ZeniMax Online Studios. Hundreds of people have been left without work, including a few more positions within Bethesda itself, and why?

Well, because at Microsoft they have decided to “re-prioritize titles and resources” to achieve high-impact games. But, you know, not like ‘Hi-Fi Rush’, but franchises and more franchises from Bethesda. “We will be well positioned to come up with new ideas, explore new game concepts, and expand our existing franchises”, they have commented. Because nothing says “Everything is going smoothly” like laying off a large part of your staff after having done the same with 2000 Xbox workers in January.

Come on, what’s left of 2024 is going to be spec-ta-cu-lar.
