The Evil Within, Ghostwire: Tokyo Still Owned By Microsoft

In a twist of events, Microsoft had sold the defunct Tango Gameworks, which was shuttered earlier this year, to Krafton. One big question remained around some of the studio’s IPs as it wasn’t clear who owned The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo. Now, we know and it’s not looking good.

Speaking to MP1st (thanks, Xbox Nerds), a Krafton spokesperson dropped the unfortunate knowledge that Microsoft owns the IPs, with the South Korean studio only acquiring Hi-Fi Rush and the studio staff itself. This does mean both those IPs could be revived with another studio, though, we feel Microsoft would get a great deal of backlash if they do.

Now, it could be that Tango will produce a spiritual successor to its beloved horror series, though, we suspect despite being a solid game, Ghostwire might end up lost in the fray as it’s the “weakest” of the studio’s library.

Ghostwire: Tokyo Surpasses 6 Million Players

Ghostwire: Tokyo

Ghostwire: Tokyo, the last Tango Gameworks (and ZeniMax) game on a PlayStation platform since Microsoft bought it up, has surpassed six million players. It’s not clear what platform dominates, though. With its lackluster release to Xbox after its PS5 timed exclusivity was up, it probably led to more people playing.

The number was revealed on Twitter, where Tango Gameworks celebrated this accomplishment. Since its launch last year, players have been treated to Spider’s Thread — a free roguelite tower DLC. 

In our review, we praised the gameplay and story, a story that satisfies that “weeb-y curiosity.”
