Arkane Austin – one of four studios closed as part of a shock announcement by Microsoft earlier today – was reportedly working on a major update for its embattled vampire shooter Redfall that was set to introduce an offline mode this month.
That’s according to IGN’s Wesley Yin-Poole, who reports Arkane Austin was working on DLC and updates for the game “until very recently”. These included features promised as part of Redfall’s long-awaited Hero Pass and a more general update adding an offline mode.
As per IGN, Redfall’s Hero Pass was set to add two new characters this “Halloween” – almost a year and a half after the game’s critically panned launch – while an offline mode was due to release sometime this month, until Microsoft’s closure decision put an end to those plans.
