‘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.

A legendary video game director has secretly opened a new studio

No one like a friend to reveal what you’ve been keeping secret ahead of time, as Shinji Mikami knows well, whose new studio has been unveiled.

What Shinji Mikami, the director of legendary games like Resident Evil, Vanquish or The Evil Within, was doing, was the best-kept secret in the industry. No one knew what he was doing or where, even though he had left the studio he himself had founded, Tango Gameworks, in early 2023. Until now, an old friend, from his own company, has revealed what he is doing.

Grasshoper Manufacture, the company of Goichi Suda, better known by the nickname Suda51, has announced that they will release a new game this year, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. This is a remaster of the homonymous game directed by Suda and produced by Mikami which, in the information about those involved, has revealed what no one knew until now: where the famous Japanese creative is.

Thus, through the Grasshoper Manufacture website, we can learn that Shinji Mikami “after leaving Tango Gameworks, founded KAMUY Inc.”. Something that Gematsu has confirmed is a company based in Tokyo, registered on October 5, 2023.

Although nothing else is known about the company or Mikami’s next project, who said he wanted to make at least one more game before retiring, this confirms that he is still in the industry and developing something. And while we don’t know what, it’s always funny to see how no one better than an old friend to reveal what you’re doing ahead of time.
