Redfall is getting one final update before Arkane Austin closes

Despite previous doubts, it seems that Redfall is set to receive one last update before Arkane Austin's closure. Since its launch, Redfall has faced numerous challenges, including lackluster reviews and a struggle to attract a large player base, despite being available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. While post-launch updates attempted to address player feedback, they failed to call in new players.

The studio promised a massive overhaul was in the works. Still, with Microsoft's announcement that it would close the studio, the hope of getting the promised update went underwater. Surprisingly, Arkane Austin announced it still plans to launch one last update to the game.

The developer's official account announced this last Redfall update (Game Update 4) on X. According to the developer, the update will include an overhauled Neighbourhood and Nest systems, a single-player pause, an offline mode, and more. The addition of an offline mode is particularly noteworthy, as it ensures that the game remains playable even if its servers are eventually deactivated.

This update could be a turning point for Redfall, potentially addressing some of its issues at launch. However, it's worth noting that some promised content, such as DLC characters from the Bite Back Edition, may never be released. Microsoft has promised compensation for those who purchased the Bite Back Edition, but details are yet to be disclosed.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
