Microsoft axes four game studios including Hi-Fi Rush developer

Microsoft is shutting four studios, including Tango Gameworks, the developers of Bafta award-winning Hi-Fi Rush. The Tokyo studio is being closed alongside Texas-based Arkane Austin and Canadian developer Alpha Dog Studios. Head of Xbox Games Studios Matt Booty announced the news in an email to staff, seen by the BBC. He said the move meant it was ending development on Arkane Austin game Redfall, with "Some members of the team" joining other studios. Alarm bells began ringing at Tango Gameworks after it was among the four games Microsoft released on rival consoles this year. The closure of Tango Gameworks means an end to the studio responsible for several popular games, including The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo.
