[Rumor] Tango Gameworks working on a JRPG

[Stef]

From the very same "insider" (eXtas1s) who correctly hinted at the Baten Kaitos remaster and the new Kojima game comes a rumor about Tango Gameworks working on two new games.

In detail, one of the games would be a JRPG, something new from the ex-Shinki Mikami team.

You can hear the "revelation" here:

Quite excited to see what's in the oven from Tango, as both Ghostwire Tokyo and Hi Fi Rush have been very nice games.

Spooky ? :D

 

[Starlatine]

Just don't see it happening
But I didn't see hi-fi rush happening either so

 

[Masagiwa]

Why the hell not? Bring it

 

[MWorldII]

I need The Evil Within 3 :(

Heh, this. They seem to be a very versatile studio.

Ghostwire Tokyo itself is surprisingly "open world" in comparison to their previous games.

 

[Yuntu]

Sure why not. I would be checking it out.

 

[logash]

More JRPGs are always a good thing. More Microsoft funded JRPGs are a miracle.

 

[Lightsong]

Would be their first game for my taste, so I hope it's true!

 

[Atolm]

I'm ready for Tango's and Microsoft's take on Persona

Actually a Tokyo Ghostwire JRPG would really be something.

 

[BradenAndEggs]

Let's do it.

So far their games have looked interesting, but RPGs are more my speed.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

After Hi-Fi Rush, I'm definitely interested in anything Tango puts out.

 

[tejinashi]

If true, then I guess TEW3 is dead :(

 

[Gavalanche]

Sure why not, could be cool.

 

[Defect]

The other game better be Hi-Fi Rush 2

 

[St. Elmo's Fire]

Found Odyssey

 

[Yuntu]

Evil Fantasy (if we throw out some naming wishes)

 

[Bear and bird]

The Evil Spirits Within

Tango is quickly becoming one of the more intriguing Xbox studios. Definitely interested in seeing what they could bring to the table in the JRPG space.

 

[fourfourfun]

Interesting to see if being on a subscription platform is allowing them to absolutely go for it in terms of creative leeway.

Ghostwire Tokyo "replaced" TEW3, it started development as the third chapter of the series and after TEW2 bombed it was turned into a different project.

They did say they wanted to be known more than "that horror studio" and be type casted so i imagine they are itching to do plenty of games. And since they arent indie they have more room to experiment

 

[Chaos Legion]

That would be awesome for Microsoft. I hope it's well funded.

 

[Dreamboum]

John Johanas put a Xenogears reference in the year of our lord 2023 in a first party Xbox game. I believe it

 

[Helix]

nobody expected Hi-Fi Rush so I can see this happening lol

The other game better be Hi-Fi Rush 2

Click to shrink...

oh it better be!

 

[SnatcherHunter]

I need The Evil Within 3 :(

This is where I am. Tango is the only
Developer I care about from Bethesda. This news does nothing for me.

 

[DominicanGlory]

I'll never say no to a potentially good jrpg

 

[Jawmuncher]

Might be kinda blasphemous but I don't really mind The Evil Within taking a break. I enjoyed 1 and 2 but both always felt like they could've been more than the sum of their parts.

So I'm all for new IPs coming out of Tango that could end up being high surprise like Hifi Rush quality wise.

 

[kurahador]

Horror jrpg hopefully. Tango specialty seems to lend themselves into creating something similar to Shadow Hearts.

 

[Windu]

What is that guy doing in that youtube thumbnail?

 

[SilentEagle]

Mistwalker - Tango co-developed Lost Odyssey sequel? Just a dream...

 

[Clive]

Not a big fan of the genre but if anyone can breathe some fresh air into it, it may be Tango. Both Ghoswire and Hi-Fi Rush dared to do unique and special things. Looking forward to seeing what they can do, if true.

 

[Strawmountains]

I mean Tango showed us that they can handle a completely different genre and style, so yeah I can believe this

Mistwalker

It's a shame Mistwalker is completely developing mobile games atm :(

 

[Mivey]

Can we cool it with the clearly discriminatory genre labels? Clearly the J-word is not acceptable to Japanese devs, we should strive to be inclusive and not use open slurs like that.

 

[dancingphlower]

Curious if they'd do a turn based battle system.

 

[Sesha]

If so, god I hope it's a horror RPG like Shadow Hearts, Koudelka and Parasite Eve.

 

[Jonathan Lanza]

Why do people WANT Tango to be an exclusively horror company?

 

[antispin]

Looking forward to it. It's always a good idea to let creative teams pursue their next project, rather than run after sequels.

I hope MS can setup a structure that allows teams to try the next iteration of each other's projects.

Horror jrpg hopefully. Tango specialty seems to lend themselves into creating something similar to Shadow Hearts.

Yes, I agree.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Sure, why not. The Evil Within games sucked and Hi-Fi was great, so I'm good with them doing new things rather than making a third mediocre shooter with bad stealth mechanics.

Do you mean using "jrpg"? I only use it to shorten "japanese role playing game".

Oh ok. English is not my native language, so it is not always easy to know 🙂

 

[ALXJ]

it's a better idea for both microsoft and zenimax to have tango to develop RPGs. It is, by far, the genre that lacks the most on xbox. I really loved Hi-Fi Rush and liked Ghostwire a bit so I'm looking forward for sure

 

[foxuzamaki]

This happening before Sony even thinks about doing another jrpg again is funny

 

[Yuuber]

I can totally see it happening, Ghostwire and Hi-fi Rush are completely distinct games and both are high-quality.

 

[Dest]

Sure, I'm in. Anything but The Evil Within 3.

 

[Streusel]

they should make a shin megami tensei style game with the art direction/setting/production values(!!!) of ghostwire.
also, what an abysmal thumbnail

 

[T0kenAussie]

I believe in tango and will be there day 1

But if we are doing some dreaming I'd love them to style it like a more grown up blue dragon. They've shown they can do the art styles well and have compelling character designs and stories that develop quite the fan following. The other posters idea of a Ghostwire persona style game sounds hella cool too, that game makes me feel like I'm in an offshoot of JJK
