IGN managed to score an interview with the revitalised Tango Gameworks studio head Colin Mack, creative director / Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas, and development director / Hi-Fi Rush project manager Kazuaki Egashira to talk about the impressive IP. Hi-Fi Rush director John Johanas said that the team completely cherishes the IP and have become strongly attached to it. On the subject of a sequel, Johanas said it is a risk, as they wouldn't want to become complacent and just do a simple direct follow up.
"Hi-Fi Rush became popular as a new IP, but if Hi-Fi Rush were to stay the same forever, it would eventually become outdated," he said. "I think Tango Gameworks is about taking on new challenges. I hope to continue to work in a way that puts developers at the center, without losing our passion."
"Not only me, but many of the development staff have a strong attachment to Hi-Fi Rush," said Johanas. "Not only the game but also the characters and the world are beloved by us, so I want to cherish this IP.
"On the other hand, it's important to try new things. I worked on The Evil Within, directed its DLC, and then directed the sequel The Evil Within 2. I don't think I could have made yet another horror game at that point, because there's only so much you can do with the same material. It's risky to try something completely different, sure — but I think a sequel to a series is also a risk in itself."
