Krafton Saves Tango Gameworks: Acquires Hi-Fi Rush IP From Xbox
Krafton, the publisher behind the popular battle royale game PUBG, has officially acquired Tango Gameworks and the Hi-Fi Rush intellectual property (IP) from Xbox, ensuring the continued development and future of the game studio.
《絕地求生》的出版商Krafton已正式收購了Tango Gameworks和Hi-Fi Rush知識產權（IP）從Xbox，確保了遊戲工作室的持續開發和未來。
This acquisition comes as a relief to both developers and fans, as it was previously announced in May 2024 that Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) had decided to close several Bethesda studios, including Tango Gameworks.
這項收購對開發者和粉絲都是一個解脫，因爲此前曾宣佈Microsoft Corp.（NASDAQ：MSFT）決定關閉包括Tango Gameworks在內的幾個Bethesda工作室。
The deal was confirmed in a press release where Krafton stated: "As part of this strategic agreement, Krafton intends to collaborate with Xbox and ZeniMax to ensure a smooth transition and maintain continuity at Tango Gameworks, allowing the talented team to continue developing the Hi-Fi Rush IP and explore future projects."
這項交易在一份新聞稿中得到確認，Krafton在其中表示：「作爲這項戰略性協議的一部分，Krafton打算與Xbox和ZeniMax合作，確保Tango Gameworks平穩過渡和延續，讓優秀的團隊繼續開發Hi-Fi Rush IP和探索未來項目。」
The acquisition not only saves the studio from closure but also breathes new life into its projects, particularly the Hi-Fi Rush IP, which has garnered a strong following since its release.
這次收購不僅拯救了該工作室的關閉，還給其項目注入了新的生命，特別是自其發佈以來就引起了強烈反響的Hi-Fi Rush IP。
"Krafton intends to support the Tango Gameworks team to continue its commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans," the press release said.
新聞稿稱：「Krafton打算支持Tango Gameworks團隊，繼續致力於創新併爲粉絲提供新鮮且令人興奮的體驗。」
Moreover, Krafton assured that there would be no impact on the existing game catalog of The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the original Hi-Fi Rush game, all of which remain significant to the studio's legacy.
此外，Krafton保證現有遊戲目錄，即《邪惡力量》（The Evil Within）、《邪惡力量2》（The Evil Within 2）、《幽靈線：東京》（Ghostwire：Tokyo）和最初的Hi-Fi Rush遊戲將不會受到影響，這些遊戲在該工作室的歷史上都具有重要意義。
