Hi-Fi Rush from Tango Gameworks revealed at Xbox Developer Direct - Polygon

Tango Gameworks, the Bethesda Softworks studio behind horror games The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo, revealed its next project, Hi-Fi Rush, on Wednesday during an Xbox Developer Direct livestream.

It’s a big swerve for the studio; Hi-Fi Rush is a cartoonish rhythm-based action game with a colorful visual style that looks somewhere between Sega’s Jet Set Radio and Insomniac’s Sunset Overdrive.

In Hi-Fi Rush, players take on the role of protagonist Chai, who has a supernatural sense of the rhythm of his world.

The more you flow with the beat, the better you can connect with your attacks and abilities — “everything syncs up like a music video,” according to the studio.

The game’s soundtrack features licensed tracks from artists like Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys, The Prodigy, and Zwan.

Hi-Fi Rush was directed by John Johanas, director of The Evil Within 2.
