Hi-Fi Rush 2 was already 6 months into development when Xbox shut down Tango Gameworks

When Microsoft shut down The Evil Within studio Tango Gameworks in June, fans mourned the loss of potential. It turns out, they had good reason to. At the time of its closure, Tango was six months into production on Hi-Fi Rush 2.

"I don't think it's going to be completely open-world, but a more dynamic environment [that] you play in. Also, having more advanced technology applied to the rhythm action so that it feels more synchronized." 

"I think [they] want to work on Hi-Fi Rush DLC [too] because they are dedicated to ensuring that Hi-Fi
