Developed by Arkane Austin and published by Bethesda, "Redfall" faced criticism at launch for its "always online" requirement, intended for accessibility purposes. The studio's closure, alongside Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within developer Tango Gameworks, marks the end of ongoing support, despite initial assurances from Microsoft. Fans of the game expressed disappointment, particularly for the Bite Back Edition's content which may not be released as planned.

While it's bittersweet seeing Arkane Austin close its doors, the final update for Redfall seems to address some major fan requests, like offline mode and single-player pausing. It's a shame we won't see the Bite Back Edition fully realized, but these changes might finally give the game the balanced experience players were hoping for.

Despite mixed reactions at launch, it's cool to see Redfall finally getting offline mode and single-player pausing, even if it comes with the bittersweet news of Arkane Austin's closure. The revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems sound intriguing too, but it's a bummer for fans who were looking forward to more content from the Bite Back Edition.
