While Microsoft said it was halting active development on Redfall, the game will get one more update that adds an offline mode.
Despite news that Microsoft was stopping development on Redfall and closing its studio, Arkane Austin , the game will get one final update.
According to a post on X , the team said it is “working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more.” It’s unclear when the update will release, but the post also notes that there will be more information coming soon.We are working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more.
Now, it looks like we’ll be getting one last update that adds some of those features, like an offline mode, to Redfall. It will also likely quell fears that the game would be unplayable once the servers, which will remain up for the time being, are taken offline. Redfall didn’t meet expectations when it launched in May 2023. It was critically panned for its empty open world, poor NPC AI, subpar performance, and unenjoyable multiplayer. While the game received some post-launch updates, including a coveted 60 frames-per-second mode on console, it didn’t help is shed the bad reputation Redfall had among players. Even Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer had to respond.
Arkane Austin was just one of four studios affected by recent closures at Microsoft. Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog Studios were also shuttered, while Roundhouse Games was merged into ZeniMax Online Studios. Booty’s reasoning for the move was so that the company could begin “prioritizing high-impact titles and further investing in Bethesda’s portfolio of blockbuster games and beloved worlds which you have nurtured over many decades.
