Finally some good news! Krafton Inc, the South Korean games company best known for its work on PUBG and The Callisto Protocol - has acquired Tango Gameworks and the award winning Hi-Fi Rush IP from Microsoft ahead of the studio's closure.
]]>This one's a bit of a cheat for me because I actually did play Ghostwire: Tokyo when it released in 2022; I played lots of it, in fact, and absolutely did put it on my formally submitted, finger-on-the-pulse GOTY list last year. But nevertheless it's been as much a 2023 game for me personally as it was a 2022 game, and so I couldn't fairly do a round-up of my year in games without it.
]]>If you missed out on last year's Ghostwire: Tokyo, and have considered trying it out, now's the best time because you can pick it up for the price of free.
]]>Ghostwire: Tokyo may have met with a muted reception when it launched last year, but that hasn't stopped 6 million players from venturing out into the haunted streets of Shibuya to shoot some spooks with their finger-guns. This is according to a recent post on the playGhostwire Twitter account, which on Friday released a piece of special celebratory artwork to commemorate the milestone:
]]>Ghostwire: Tokyo is now available to purchase for Xbox Series X/S, and if you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you can give Tango Gameworks ghoulish title a try for free. In addition, the game is also playable via PlayStation Plus, and an all-new Spider’s Thread update is now available for the game.
]]>Microsoft has announced a new round of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass in April.
]]>A haul of 17 new games are making their way to PS Plus, following a cheaky tease during the recent State of Play. This includes a whopping 14 new additions to the Games Catalogue for PS Plus Extra subscribers, and three beloved classics to the PS Plus Premium Classics Collection.
]]>Bethesda Softworks and Tango Gameworks will release a free update to the supernatural action game Ghostwire: Tokyo on April 12. This will coincide with the release of the game on Xbox Series X/S.
]]>The PS Plus games catalogue is getting a lot of new games in March, including Ghostwire Tokyo, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Tchia.
]]>There's no greater fantasy in all of gaming than the best open-world games. Leading your character on an intrepid adventure that's wholly your own, exploring where you want to explore and making a memorable journey of the things you find is one of the most satisfying experiences you can have.
]]>Despite launching way back in 2020, it was arguably 2023 when the PS5 finally came into its own. It was always a good console, but 2023 was the first year when you could potentially just buy a PS5 without waiting in a digital queue and pouncing like an eBay sniper for even the most legitimate of purchases.
]]>Ghostwire: Tokyo’s exploration loop is a brilliantly elaborate conceptual pun. It is this game’s version of the ‘Tower Unfogs Map’ mechanic popularised by Assassin’s Creed. Here, instead of climbing stuff and checking your watch as the camera whips around some murderous aristocrat holding an unlikely pose atop the Bastille (or whatever), you cleanse Torii gates of demonic influence, which rather usefully clears the streets of literal fog. I’m not sure if it’s intended to be funny, but regardless, it’s a smirk-worthy meta-twist on a now ubi-quitous gaming trope that can be found everywhere from Zelda to Mad Max.
]]>Ghostwire Tokyo is out now on PlayStation 5 and PC. Having received Deathloop in 2021, Bethesda's next console exclusive to hit PlayStation 5 was released on March 25th 2022.>
]]>Head to this marker, kill all the enemies that spawn, uncover more of the map, head to one of the new markers that just popped up, talk to an NPC, go to the next waypoint, fight some more enemies, go back to the quest giver, get your reward. Rinse and repeat. Break down Ghostwire: Tokyo to its basic gameplay fundamentals and you have an open world game as formulaic as they come.
]]>Sometimes a game just has a good vibe. It might be one aspect of said game – the art style or in-game world – that really lifts it above everything else, or it could just be that everything bundled together into one package is an exceptionally enjoyable time. In Ghostwire: Tokyo, the vibes are immaculate.
]]>Ghostwire: Tokyo on PC will support DLSS, FSR, and ray tracing, which is good news for those looking to experience a lovely rain-soaked, neon-lit version of the big city.
]]>Ghostwire: Tokyo is weird. Tango Gamesworks’ latest has you racing all over Shibuya, battling demonic Yokai by sending energy flying out of your hands, worming your way through possessed houses, interacting with dogs and cats by reading their thoughts, and going on a hunt for a tanuki’s mates who came to Tokyo to see the sights for the day.
]]>PlayStation held its first State of Play event of 2022 on March 9, and the vast majority of the titles we saw announced or teased hailed from Sony's development partners in Japan.
]]>We’ve seen games tackle real-life locations before – GTA 5 took a decent swing at California, Watch Dogs: Legion accurately portrayed how grey and messy London actually is, and Sleeping Dogs got the bustle of Hong Kong just right – but there’s something about Tango Gameworks’ version of Tokyo that is on another plane entirely. And it might be the astral plane.
]]>Shinji Mikami – who you may well know as the veteran game developer behind such classics as Resident Evil, God Hand, Vanquish, Dino Crisis and more besides – still wants to make 'one more game'. Just don't expect it to come any time soon.
]]>It’s impossible to separate Tango Gameworks from Shinji Mikami. The Tokyo-based studio employs legions of developers, but the Resident Evil co-creator is still firmly recognisable as the face of Tango Gameworks, well over a decade after departing Capcom to found the studio.
]]>A release date has been provided for Tango Gameworks' Ghostwire: Tokyo.
]]>During the PlayStation Showcase livestream, Tango Gameworks revealed a new glimpse of Ghostwire: Tokyo through a trailer that stars the antagonist Hannya.
