Finally a bit of good news as developer Tango Gameworks appears to have survived its closure. The studio, responsible for series, and the critically-acclaimed has now been acquired by publisher Krafton Inc. Announced via a Krafton press release, it seems that Tango Gameworks will get to work on that after all.
The press release reads: "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 IP and explore future projects." Krafton also confirms that Tango Gameworks' existing game catalog won't be affected in the transition: "There will be no impact on the existing game catalog of , , , and the original game, and they will remain available everywhere they are available today." If you're somehow unaware, Tango Gameworks - alongside Arkane Austin - back in May of this year.
The corporation cited a "reprioritization of titles and resources" as the reason for the particularly grim decision. Now that Tango Gameworks has found a home, however, response on social media has largely been one of elation. John Johanas, creative director at Tango Gameworks as well as the director of : "We're back, baby!" While we won't know exactly what Tango Gameworks plans to work on next, it does seem likely we'll get that sequel based on Krafton's plans to expand the IP.
For now, watch this space and collectively breathe a sigh of relief that one of the most talented developers of the last decade and a half gets to carry on..
