Official 50 Hi-Fi Rush developers retained by Kratfon.

While Krafton wanted to "inherit the entire development team" (as per a statement from Krafton PR, shared by Stephen Totilo in both his GameFile newsletter and on Twitter) the publisher hasn't managed to get the full breadth of talent it made the "acqui-hire" for. Here's the full statement:

"KRAFTON plans to transfer approximately 50 development staff from Tango Gameworks to KRAFTON's Japan subsidiary. These transferred staff will continue to work on new projects, including the expansion of the HI-FI RUSH IP, at KRAFTON."

About half—50 in total—of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks' staff will be taken on by new publisher Krafton

It's likely the other half have found new employment.

I am glad that Tango gets to live. The love of public definitely has power

Cool to get more updates on this situation. Hopefully, the other half that didn't return was simply due to them finding jobs elsewhere.
