Krafton thinks a Hi-Fi RUSH 2 won't make them any money
, by Thibaut
Last month, Krafton saved Tango Gameworks from being closed. Following this takeover, the South Korean publisher spoke of its desire to develop a second Hi-Fi RUSH.
Changhan Kim, Krafton's CEO, explained the acquisition, and the businessman was quite transparent in doing so.
""Although they [Tango] did not have a big success in their games, we saw many creatives worth pursuing. That's why we wanted to work with that organization."
"We can't acquire Tango Gameworks based on their financials or their numbers, right? We don't think Hi-Fi Rush 2 is going to make us money, to be frank," he continues. "But it's part of our attempt. We have to keep trying [to develop games] in the spirit of challenge-taking."
"Tango Gameworks are creative. They want to try something new, and we want to do more of that. [Making] video games is really a hit or miss industry, and that is risk taking. But having more project lineups is actually a way to mitigate risk, because one of them might work out."
