Arkane Austin Was Working on a Big Redfall Update for May Before Microsoft Ditched the Game and Closed the Studio

Arkane Austin was developing significant updates and DLC for the vampire co-op shooter game, Redfall, including a Hero Pass set for Halloween release, when Microsoft abruptly canceled the project and closed the studio. This decision, part of broader cuts involving also Tango Gameworks, shocked the staff, as revealed by IGN. Redfall's planned May update would have introduced an offline mode, potentially extending the game's lifespan, but now it will not be released. This comes after a troubled launch and ongoing technical issues that had already marred the game's reputation.
