Tango Gameworks has announced Hi-Fi Rush, a musical rhythm-focused action game, coming to PC and Xbox Series X|S consoles today. In Hi-Fi Rush, everything is connected to the beat and the whole world moves according to the rhythm. Players take control of Chai, a “defect” who can detect the rhythm of the world and must team up with others t take down an evil corporation.
Tango Gameworks wants this to be playable for everyone, even those who do not play rhythm games, so Chai’s cat, 808, can keep the beat for you as a little helper drone while a marker at the bottom of the screen can also track the BPM for you.
This is a big departure for Tango Gameworks, as a colorful action game is very different from the horror-themed works the studio is known for. Still, this looks great and we cannot wait to try it out.
During Xbox and Bethesda’s Developer_Direct, Tango Gameworks took fans by surprise with the announcement and launch of an all-new game, Hi-Fi RUSH – an over-the-top, single player rhythm action game unlike anything seen before from the award-winning studio behind Ghostwire: Tokyo and The Evil Within. Hi-Fi RUSH is available NOW through Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S and PC, as well as through the Microsoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Hi-Fi RUSH is a rhythm action game set in a colorful world where everything is driven by the beat of the music – from the trees swaying in the environment to every hit landed during combat. Combat sequences perfectly align to the rhythm of the music, allowing for gameplay that is not only exhilarating but also extremely satisfying. A player’s moves aren’t dictated by the music like in a traditional rhythm game — players have the freedom of a full action game. However, inputting actions with the beat amplifies the player’s attacks along with the music.
Players take on the role of Chai, a free-spirited slacker with rockstar ambitions. During a technological procedure to receive a robotic arm, he finds an unexpected “bonus” when his music player is fused within his power unit. If that wasn’t enough, the company behind the experiment labels him a “defect,” making him a target for deactivation. With a squad of corporate overlords and an army of robots after him, Chai must defend himself through rhythmic combat and the help of a motley crew of allies to take down the company’s ruthless business leaders and escape.
Featuring licensed tracks from iconic rock bands including Nine Inch Nails and The Black Keys, Hi-Fi RUSH is sure to bring the beat and beat down and is available through Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S and PC, as well as through the Microsoft Store, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
