Tango Gameworks is a Japanese video game developer based in Tokyo. Founded in March 2010 by Shinji Mikami, previously of Capcom, the company was acquired by ZeniMax Media in October that year after suffering financial issues.
Tango developed survival horror games The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2, action-adventure game Ghostwire: Tokyo, and rhythm-based action game Hi-Fi Rush.
Tango's parent company ZeniMax Media was acquired by Microsoft in March 2021, making Tango the first Japanese studio in Microsoft Gaming's development portfolio.[2] Microsoft closed the studio in June 2024. In August 2024, South Korean publisher Krafton announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire the studio from Microsoft for an undisclosed amount, while Tango also forged a strategic partnership with Microsoft.
