Hi-Fi Rush 2: Is a Sequel on the Horizon?
The wildly popular rhythm game, Hi-Fi Rush, may be getting a sequel! While not officially confirmed, recent interviews paint a promising picture.
Positive Outlook, but No Guarantees
In an interview with IGN, Tango Gameworks studio head Colin Mack stated that a sequel is being “considered positively.” However, the studio is exploring various opportunities before making a final decision. Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the team’s love for the IP and characters. He highlighted the importance of exploring new avenues, a philosophy that led to the creation of Hi-Fi Rush itself.
Potential Sequel Details
Interestingly, Krafton’s Maria Park revealed that a Hi-Fi Rush sequel build was already six months in development before the studio acquisition. She hinted at potential improvements, such as a more dynamic environment and enhanced rhythm action synchronization, addressing player feedback about the original game’s factory-focused settings.
Tango Gameworks’ Future
Kazuaki Egashira, Hi-Fi Rush project manager, emphasized that Tango Gameworks thrives on new challenges. He believes that continued innovation is essential to prevent Hi-Fi Rush from becoming outdated. The future of Hi-Fi Rush remains uncertain, but the passion of the development team and positive consideration of a sequel leave fans hopeful for more electrifying rhythm-based action.
