The fall that makes you see red
It's been a little over a year since a game called Redfall was released on May 1, 2023. This title in cooperation with vampires was very promising and widely awaited by players, being developed by the studio Arkane Austin (Prey). Unfortunately, many problems marred its release. Whether it was bugs, broken promises or poor optimization, the production was poorly received by critics (56% on Metacritic, a particularly low score for a Microsoft exclusive). Some are even more disappointed. Indeed, if you purchased the Deluxe edition of Redfallyou have noticed that the contents of this 100 euro pack are still not available. This originally promised two additional heroes to expand the playable roster. A year later, players are starting to lose hope.
A DLC that is afraid of the spotlight
No one really knows what's going on internally. Since the game's release, Arkane Austin did not give any news. The editor, Bethesda Softworksis in the same situation and said nothing even on the game's first anniversary a few days ago. One of the former players of Redfall named “Obvious”, speaks in an article in Kotaku.
Redfall is a new release from a once-great studio that hasn't lived up to gamers' expectations or its promises. […] These days the game is better than it's ever been, but it never got the treatment Cyberpunk (which had been the subject of a sort of resurrection thanks to its Phantom Liberty DLC, editor's note) and will probably never receive it. It has reached the stage of “mediocre” at most. […] Some believe that Arkane is working behind the scenes on the project in preparation for a new release, but I'm starting to lose hope.
Redfall was the first game Microsoft for the Xbox Serie X|S has been displayed at the “next-gen” price of 79.99 euros. Some were so eager and excited by the promises that they spent an extra $20 to get the Deluxe Edition. Killing vampires interested more than one person, unfortunately, they didn't stay long. The lack of news regarding the two heroes in DLC is becoming more and more felt.
