Alongside singleplayer pause
“Thank you for all your supportive messages,” beginsthe message on X. “We are working to release our final update, Game Update 4, that brings revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, Single Player Pausing, Offline Mode, and more.
“We’ll provide additional details soon. Thank you all.”
It was reportedlast week that Arkane Austin had been working on an offline modewhen news of their closure came down. There was also planned DLC in the works. At the time it was assumed that the closure,announced earlier the same week, meant the updates would never see the light of day. Thankfully that’s not the case - although the DLC is still no longer coming, and there’s still no confirmation ofwhat compensation ‘DLC pass’ owners will receive for its absence.
Redfall launched a little over a year ago to severe criticism - including in our ownRedfall review- and poor sales. Much of the criticism focused on its barren-feeling world, poor AI, and lack of stability, issues which have been somewhat addressed via updates released so far. An offline mode would also have moved it one step closer to the kind of singleplayer experience Arkane Austin are best known for, although no amount of retrofitting was ever going to turn it intothe wonderful Prey.
