A year afterRedfall’s disappointing launch, its players are still waiting for one of the $100 special edition bonuses they were promised.
As reported byKotaku, on Redfall’s first anniversary, developerArkaneis yet to deliver one of its special edition bonuses. TheBite Back Edition, which is still available to purchase at the time of writing, promised fans an exclusive steel book, a physical patch, exclusive skins, weapons, outfits for the main characters, and the Redfall Hero Pass - which would add “two future heroes” at an unspecified date.
Talking to fans who purchased the Bite Back Edition of the FPS, Kotaku found that they’re still waiting for those previously promised heroes. “The fact it’s taken over a year now shows Redfall either hit issues or they hadn’t even started [on the DLC], which is bizarre,” a Discord user called Obvious tells the outlet. “Some people think they might be working on it behind the scenes for another big release at some point, but I’m starting to lose hope in that.”
Unfortunately, it might be too little too late for Arkane, as Redfall is struggling to get more than 100 concurrent players on Steam (according toSteamDB) these days. Here’s hoping it can have aCyberpunk 2077-style comeback and deliver its future heroes soon.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
