Offline mode is Arkane Austin's parting gift to players.
Arkane Austin may be no more, but they offer one last gift to fans today. Redfall received Game Update 4 today and with it comes an offline mode, a new "Community Standing" feature, revamped Elder Nests, and the ability to pause while playing solo.
Barring any catastrophic issues, this will presumably be the last update Redfall ever receives. Arkane Austin will not provide a full list of changes for the...
Redfall to Receive Final Update with Offline Mode and Other Changes
A final parting gift from Arkane Austin.
It looks like the promised offline mode for Redfall will be delivered after all. Despite Microsoft deciding to shutdown Arkane Austin, the studio will get one more update out for their vampire slaying action game.
The update was essentially in its home stretch of completion when Microsoft shutdown Arkane Austin along with Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog Games. When the shutdown was announced, it was believed that the update wouldn't...
Microsoft Shutdown Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Games
The company valued at over $3 trillion just closed several game studios.
Arkane Austin, the studio behind Redfall and 2017's Prey, has been shutdown by Microsoft. Tango Gameworks, the studio behind The Evil Within series and the multiple award-winning Hi-Fi Rush, has been shutdown by Microsoft. Alpha Dog Games, the studio behind the mobile game Mighty Doom, has been shutdown by Microsoft. Roundhouse Studios will not be shutdown but will instead be absorbed by The Elder Scrolls Online...
Redfall released back in May 2023 to some less than favorable reviews, including our own review that found very little to love about Arkane's open-world vampire slayer. Up until October 6, Arkane released just one hotfix update and one major game update. While most have already written the game off, hitting a player count of just three people a day prior, Arkane surprised everyone by releasing the game's second update.
The first major update for Redfall just dropped today. This update from developer Arkane Austin brings the game up to version 1.1 and introduces several fixes for the otherwise super busted game.
Today's first real update comes alongside a brief statement from Arkane Austin, though it's a statement that comes a bit short of being an apology letter to the disappointed fans. They say that they still have work to do and "plan to...
Bloomberg Reports on What Led to Redfall's Downfall
Development so troubled that developers hoped it would just get cancelled.
It may come as no surprise to you to hear that the development of Redfall from Arkane Austin was plagued with issues at all levels. This includes a lack of oversight from Xbox management, staffing issues, and an ever changing design basis for the game itself. When Redfall launched last month, it was met with plenty of poor review scores from critics and players. It was filled with a myriad of technical bugs,...
It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.
It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.
Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...
Redfall's First Update Lacks the Performances Fixes You Want
The troubled game's first update is quite lacking.
An update for Redfall made its way to the PC version of the game earlier today. Those of you downloading the several gigabyte update were probably hoping to see some fixes included for the game's myriad of technical issues. Maybe a fix for the poor CPU and GPU utilization, and overall generally poor performance? Maybe fixes for the shadows, or broken AI, or broken animations, or ragdoll glitches, or poor textures, or floating geometry,...
Redfall's Disastrous Release is Phil Spencer's Fault
The Head of Xbox assumes "full responsibility."
Blame Phil. Really, he said it's ok to blame him. For what? For the overwhelmingly negative response to the recent release of Redfall. And, which Phil are we blaming? Phil Spencer, of course. The Head of Xbox himself says that he takes "full responsibility" for that game and the everything that's wrong with it.
Spencer's noble self-sacrifice here was shared during a lengthy interview on the Kinda Funny...
Redfall Releases to Unfortunate Reviews, Glitches, and Performance Woes
Move over Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, your issues are old news.
Arkane Austin and Bethesda released their open-world vampire slaying game Redfall today and it's not great. I'll say it. It's not great. Still, if you are interested in finding out for yourself if it's good or not, you can presently play Redfall on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass.
In Redfall, you assume control over one of four vampire slayers as they try to rid the city of Redfall, Massachusetts from a bunch...
Arkane Austin is about to release their new vampire-slaying FPS to the world. On May 2, Redfall will be released and it will allow you and up to three additional friends to take to the streets of Redfall, Massachusetts to tackle a wee-bit of a vampire problem infesting the city.
Players will have access to a variety of weapons, gadgets, and even special powers.
This launch trailer features a cover of Black Hole Sun, which...
Redfall to Launch on Xbox With Only a 30FPS Option
A 60FPS performance mode is supposedly coming later.
Arkane Studios revealed some truly unfortunate news today that is leaving a real sour taste in those looking forward to playing Redfall on Xbox Series X|S. Through a new tweet, the official Redfall account revealed that the game will launch only with a 30FPS Quality mode.
The tweet says that the Xbox Series X will run at 4K resolution with a 30FPS cap. The Xbox Series S will run at 1440p and will also be 30FPS. The PC...
Microsoft Cancelled a PlayStation 5 Version of Redfall
Arkane's Harvey Smith says a planned PS5 version was scrapped following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda.
Redfall is an upcoming cooperative FPS that will have you and up to three additional friends roaming the town of Redfall slaying vampires. Redfall was announced as being exclusive for PC and Xbox platforms, which does make a lot of sense seeing as how the developer, Arkane, is owned by Bethesda and Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.
There's more to Redfall than simply slaying vampires.
If you thought that Redfall, the upcoming action title from Arkane Austin was purely about slaying vampires, you would be mistaken. Sure, there is a lot of that vampire slaying going on but there's also something a little extra going on. A little something that studios like to call "a story."
The latest trailer for Redfall shares with us information about the game's plot. That plot that seems to involve a...
Redfall Requires a Persistent Online Connection Even in Single Player
People on the Internet are going nuts.
Redfall will require an always-online connection to the Internet even if you are playing through the open-world, vampire slaying game on your own. This revelation, and more, were shared through a new Redfall FAQ that flatly states, "a persistent online connection is required for single player and co-op."
Not only is this persistent online connection necessary, but players will also have to need to link to their Steam or...
