Hi-Fi Rush, the most recent game from Tango Gameworks, is getting a special re-release in collaboration with Limited Run Games.

With pre-orders set to open from 16th January up until the 1st March, Hi-Fi Rush Rhythm Edition will feature the deluxe version of the game alongside three special DLC costumes. These costumes are the Bossplay, Traditional Garb, and Teamplay outfits. It'll be available for the Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Extra keen fans go opt for an even grander package with the Hi-Fi Rush Smidge Edition. This features the same Deluxe version of the game and DLC costumes, alongside a special three disc soundtrack, developer notes, and a custom box designed after the tutorial robot present in the game. There's also a bunch of in-game skins and gears for gameplay upgrades.

Then there's an even bolder option, the Project Armstrong Edition. This contains everything in the Smidge Edition alongside an 808 plush, a small replica of Chai's guitar, a Chai Project Armstrong pass, a glow-in-the-dark MP3 player pin, an hard cover art book, and an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.

Both the Smidge and Project Armstrong Edition will be going up for pre-order during the same period as the regular Rhythm Edition, and prices for each are viewable on the Limited Run website. The Rhythm Edition will sell for $39.99, the Smidge Edition for $69.99, and the Project Armstrong Edition for $174.99.

Hi-Fi Rush has been through something of a journey over the past few years. Dropping suddenly back in 2023, the game proved an exceptional release, receiving ample critical praise. Its developer, Tango Gameworks, was later shut down by Microsoft as part of widespread cuts, which Xbox executive Matt Booty stated was partly due to the studio's leadership change, as Shinji Mikami left shortly after Hi-Fi Rush's release.

The studio would then be saved by Krafton, who acquired the team shortly after. Late last year, Krafton would then declare itself an "AI-first company".
