The studio behind the well-known video game series The Evil Within, Tango Gameworks, recently announced and released a new game called "Hi-Fi Rush" for Xbox.
As reported by Standard.co, the game features a cartoonish art style and takes place in a world filled with robots. Hi-Fi Rush has a heavy musical theme, challenging players to time their attacks to the beat of the soundtrack, making it more likely for them to hit their enemies.
Bethesda, Xbox's partner, and subsidiary, announced the news during a 45-minute Xbox Developer Direct reel. Hi-Fi Rush is now available for download through Xbox Game Pass or separately on Steam and the Xbox Store.
