Insights from John Johanas

John Johanas, the Creative Director at Tango Gameworks, commented on the launch, stating, "I remember the thrill of holding a new music album, with its packaging and liner notes, when I was younger. I hope this physical version brings fans that same joy of tactile experience. Hi-Fi RUSH is a heartfelt creation, and I hope this package resonates with players well beyond just owning a game."
