It looks like Arkane Studios' co-op shooter Redfall has been in development since Prey: Mooncrash DLC released back in 2017. The full production probably did not kick-off for a couple of more years, though.
The Outerhaven writes: With multiple gaming studios, including Tango Gameworks, closing, the editor-in-chief of The Outerhaven shares his thoughts on the matter.
Honestly I was looking back and at the launch of the Xbox 1. With Don Matrick at the helm I was disappointed but therevwas something else. That fighting spirit of Xbox at its inception was lost. They stopped innovating, I lost excitement on what the next big new surprise was, because their weren’t any. Not like Halo 2 and Gears launch. You couldn’t really brag about it anymore.
So here we are and corporate MS has ruined what was a beautiful renegade project.
"Right now"?
But not 11 years ago with the disastrous Xbox One reveal which they NEVER recovered from?
Man are you slow on the uptake.
I imagine smaller ABK studios like toys for bob and beenox are now feeling uncertain about their futures
It was announced today that Tango Gameworks, the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, will be shut down, which casts doubt on the future of the game.
I’m sure the support and franchise will live on due to its success. They may even keep some ppl and roll them into other studios. There are layoffs across the map tho in the game/tech industries in general tho including Sony, Facebook and more. My personal family has been affected by them.
Yet MS made a company-wide profit of $22 billion.
In my eyes releasing this on gamepass was a double edged sword approach, received extremely well, but didn't hit w.e batshit insane sales target MS had In mind
have all the people saying m$ buying all those companies, been proved correct yet,
they said more games, more choice, but ended up
less choice, less games, in reality... we were right
They developed the highest rated game Xbox has had as a exclusive in years and they shut them down? Doesn't make much sense.
Arkane Austin tweeted: "Today it was announced that Arkane Austin will close and development will not continue on Redfall.
To everyone that has supported the work from our Austin studio over the years, thank you. Thank you for spending time in our worlds and making them your own.
Arkane Lyon will continue their focus on immersive experiences where they are hard at work on their upcoming project.
Redfall players who purchased the Hero Pass as part of the premium Bite Back Edition or the premium Bite Back upgrade will be eligible to receive the value of the upgrade.
While there will be no further updates, Redfall's servers will remain online for players to enjoy."
They're offering credit instead of a cash refund. Yeesh.
More proof people need to stop pre-ordering games which end up releasing unfinished, need to stop supporting live service trash, and need to stop buying Battle Passes before the content is even made. If there ever was a time to learn these lessons, now would be the time.
And they showed a CGI trailer?
