Tango Gameworks announces Hi-Fi Rush, which launches today

Xbox surprised gamers at its Developer Direct with a new title from Tango Gameworks: Hi-Fi Rush. It’s a rhythm-action game where the hack-and-slash gameplay syncs with the music for a “living soundtrack.” The developers also announced it launches today on PC, Xbox and Game Pass.

Hi-Fi Rush has a cartoonish art style reminiscent of games like Jet Set Radio. It stars Chai, a “future rock star” and a cast of companions as they attempt to take on a major corporation. Chai must fight through its departments, each of which is themed after a musical genre, and finishes each section with a boss battle.
