Krafton Buys Tango Gameworks, Announces Expansion

Tango Gameworks has been known to develop games like Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Evil Within and Hi-Fi Rush is the flagship of the Japanese developer. In a press release, Krafton informed their players and audience about the expansion. 

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 Hi-Fi Rush IP and explore future projects. 

Krafton also announced that will continue to work on future projects that Tango Gameswork was working on. Tango Gameswork had been working on a lot of games and the franchise of Hi-Fi Rush is also likely to continue and will not be impacted by this change of power in the studio.

Krafton intends to support the Tango Gameworks team to continue its commitment to innovation and delivering fresh and exciting experiences for fans. There will be no impact on the existing game catalog of The Evil Within, The Evil Within 2, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and the original Hi-Fi Rush game.

Tango Gameswork came into being in 2010 and the first game the studio developed was The Evil Within. In May 2024, Microsoft announced that it would be shutting down three studios that were under Microsoft. Redfall developer Arkane Austin, Mighty Doom developer Alpha Dog Studios, and Tango Gameworks were the three studios.

Star Wars Outlaws Will Come Out Later This Month

Star Wars Outlaws is one of the most anticipated Ubisoft titles this year. The game was announced in January 2021. The game was later revealed in the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2023. Following the reveal, in April 2024, Ubisoft revealed two special editions for Star Wars Outlaws.

Star Wars Outlaws will be an open-world game action game, where players will assume the role of Kay Vess, a wanderer in the galaxy. She will also accompany her companion, Nix, as they partner up for heists across different locations.

The story of Star Wars Outlaws takes place between The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi from the Star Wars lore. The title is set to be exclusively single-player as of now, as Ubisoft has not announced any multiplayer elements for Outlaws. However, developers may add more features to the title shortly after release.

Gamers who preorder Star Wars Outlaws will receive a Kessel Runner bonus pack. Additionally, purchasing the Ultimate Edition will give gamers access to the Rogue Infiltrator and Sabacc Shark bundles, which will serve as cosmetics for one's ship. Aside from cosmetics, purchasing the Gold or Ultimate editions for Star Wars Outlaws will also give gamers access to the season pass, as well as game access three days before release.

Outlaws will possibly be the biggest open-world Star Wars game, which may borrow a lot of elements from Respawn's Star Wars Jedi series. Moreover, the title will allow gamers to traverse the open world with many vehicles from the famous universe. The title will rely heavily on stealth and Blaster combat, unlike the traditional Lightsaber battle from most Star Wars titles.

Ubisoft has revealed the PC requirements for Star Wars Outlaws. For the players who want to go to the Galaxy Far Far Away galaxy, matching these requirements will be crucial as without them, the game could be laggy and the gaming experience could also be sabotaged. Ubisoft has revealed the PC requirements so that you can make room for the game. Here are the minimum and recommended PC requirements to play Star Wars Outlaws smoothly.

Best Assault Rifle in BGMI To Use In 2024

BGMI offers a number of assault rifles (ARs) to choose from in the game. Each AR has a different damage and recoil. The gun players choose usually dictates the kind of mastery they have in the game. Here is a list of ARs in the game with their damage level and the ammo they use: 

Most of these guns are found throughout all the maps in the game. G36C is the only gun that is not available on all of the maps. The gun uses 5.56mm ammo and deals damage of 43 HP to the enemies. The players who enjoy using 5.56 mm ammo guns usually choose the M416. This gun is available in all the maps and has decent recoil control when all the attachments are used on it. It is a great gun for mid and close-range fights. 

For the ones who want to deal more close-range damage to their enemies, they use the mighty AKM. The gun uses 7.62 mm ammo and just uses the compensator. It takes a lot of patience and practice to master the AKM. However, the AKM and the M416 are the most used guns in the game
