IIRC, Microsoft still owns The Evil Within and Ghostwire.

So it will be either Hi-Fi Rush 2 or a new IP.

"Knowing Microsoft's direction with the IP sale, we didn't want to push too far with this acquisition, so we primarily had Hi-Fi RUSH under discussion because it would complicate the process and elongate the entire negotiation process.

We could tell that this is a studio capable of creating the full spectrum of different experiences. They have a couple of new projects in production, we looked at them, [and] they were very different from the previous titles.

Krafton has experience in making multiplayer and service-type games alongside expanding to different platforms. Tango primarily makes narrative-driven, single-player action-oriented games. With our expertise, we're hoping that we can bring Tango to larger markets or different platforms.

In one of the new projects under development, the team told us that they wanted to make a co-op online game. But they don't have experience making an online multiplayer game. Krafton's live-service expertise can help bring it to the next level."
