Closing Arcane Austin it came like a bolt from the blue. Until the last minute, Texas was working on a big update for Redfall. The failed vampire co-op was due for a long-promised release this month. offline mode. Fans have been demanding this since before the game came out.
This is indicated by changes in the Steam database and information from the IGN server. However, Microsoft stopped all work on Redfall and decided to close the studio. The game will continue to run but will not receive any updates. And if Microsoft decides to shut down the servers in the future, Redfall will likely disappear completely. And let’s pour some clean wine, not many players play Redfall and interest in hunting vampires will gradually decline, so server shutdowns may happen relatively soon.
They won’t even get the promised content owners of a more expensive edition. Arkane Austin was reportedly planning to add two new characters to the game this fall, around Halloween. However, Hero Pass owners will not receive any additional content. Instead, they will be able to request a refund for the foreseeable future. They will be refunded in the form of a voucher for the cost of the purchased version or upgrade.
Redfall wasn’t a popular game. However, the players are disappointed and remind previous promises from Microsoft and Bethesda representatives. Pete Hines, then head of Bethesda’s publishing division, said in September 2023 that they would make Redfall a good game. Game Pass in particular has pushed them forward, where a less successful game can become very popular. Their goal was to make Redfall a good game.
There are also words from Matt Booty. The head of Xbox Game Studios in June 2023 denied information about plans to close Arkane Austin. Instead of being afraid of losing their jobs, developers should be working harder on updates and additional content. Of course, plans change, and they did.
