Two new characters were planned to arrive in October, too, but all of these plans have been canceled

Earlier today, Redfall development studio Arkane Austin was closed by Xbox alongside Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog Games. And it sounds like, before the shutdown, the team was working on new content and updates for the vampire-hunting shooter that, now, won’t ever be released. Arriving last year, Redfall —an online-only Xbox and PC exclusive co-op game—launched to negative reviews and low player counts. After its release, the game received some small updates, including a 60fps patch on Xbox .

Additionally, IGN reports that a much-requested offline mode is also dead and won’t be happening. Prior to Redfall’s launch, many players were upset that the game would require an always-online connection, even when playing alone. In the new report, IGN says that the mode was in development, as previously confirmed by the game’s director, Harvey Smith, and was planned to arrive sometime this month.
