Hi-fi Rush Announced by The Evil Within Studio, Now Available on Xbox and PC

During the Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct presentation, studio Tango Gameworks announced a new game called Hi-Fi Rush for the Xbox Series X|S and PC as well as Game Pass. It’s an action game where its combat syncs to the music, and to our surprise the game is now officially out on Xbox and PC. 

It’s great to see the folks at Tango Gameworks be given the creative freedom to work on any project as the studio is usually known for horror themed titles, like Ghostwire: Tokyo, and The Evil Within series. Hi-Fi RUSH is a complete opposite and everything shown so far – from the art style, combat concept, down to its personality – seems like it’s going to be a fun adventure.

Here’s a quick description from Bethesda on the game’s concept of syncing to the music:

“Everything in Hi-Fi RUSH automatically syncs to the music, from swinging your trusty “axe” to dodging out of the way of an oversized metallic fist. The game isn’t locked to the music track, however – Hi-Fi RUSH is rhythm-action with the emphasis on “action.” Players must feel the rhythm to enhance Chai’s actions, pulling off heavy Beat Hits at the end of a combo like a cymbal crash, or syncing up with one of his allies for a devastating tag-team finisher. In Hi-Fi RUSH, every battle is an opportunity to play out your own music video fantasy, seamlessly coordinating all your moves with the soundtrack.”

Hi-Fi RUSH is now available on PC and Xbox Game Pass, but if you’re keen on purchasing the game yourself, there’s a Deluxe Edition with a few goodies attached to the package:

• Two Chai outfits

• Seven bonus Chai t-shirts

• 808-Themed Guitar Skin

• 808 Alternate Skin

• 20,000 Gears for unlocking combat skills and other upgrades. (Note: Gears are obtained through combat and exploration in-game and not available as a purchasable currency.)
