The studio behind vampire FPSRedfallhas announced that no further updates are coming, with refunds offered to purchasers of premium content that will never enter the game as a result ofArkane Austin’s closure.
“Arkane Austin will close and development will not continue on Redfall,” reads an official statement onTwitter. “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.” The premium content in question amounted to the addition of two new playable DLC characters and various cosmetic weapons skins and outfits. While the studio has ceased work on all future updates, Arkane Austin has assured that “Redfall’s servers will remain online for players to enjoy”.
