Redfall is getting one final update after all.
Announced on Twitter, Redfall’s final update is Game Update 4, and it’ll add revamped Neighborhood and Nest systems, single player pausing, an offline mode, and more.
Redfall’s final update doesn’t have a release date, butArkanesays more information is coming “soon.” The update was reportedly due for release in May originally, but there’s a good chance it’ll release later than that after the studio’s closure.
Redfall’s tragic story arc, from its promising reveal as a co-op shooter from the beloved studio behind Dishonored, Prey, and Deathloop, to its disastrous launch and eventual death by studio closure, is coming to a mildly redemptive end with this feature-rich final update. It deeply sucks that Redfall is forever finished getting updates after this one and is thus doomed to haunt the annals of Xbox history as a failed experiment, but at least it’ll still be playable after the servers inevitably shut down.
To its credit, Redfall had some stiff competition in thebest Xbox Series X games.
