Do you remember ‘Redfall’? The answer is probably “What are you talking about?”. And that’s because Bethesda’s game was not exactly popular when it was released a year ago. Quite the opposite: it was so full of bugs and so unfunny that Phil Spencer himself had to apologize saying “I’m disappointed. I’m angry with myself”. And, despite everything, there were people who trusted in this disaster. To their sadness, they have come out in debt. Literally.
RedFAIL
‘Redfall’, on release, promised that everyone who bought the deluxe edition would have, among other things, two new heroes through post-launch DLC. Many people trusted and, instead of trying the game on Game Pass, they spent a fortune. One year later, they still haven’t received anything at all.
There are two possibilities: either they are dedicated to fixing issues (which is true, the game is better now than at its launch, although that’s not saying much), or they haven’t even started working on the DLC, which would be concerning twelve months after the promise. The last update we had was in November, where Arkane, their studio, assured that they were still working on the characters and would announce news in 2024.
And here we are. Half a year has passed and there is no news, which has not sat well with those who spent $100. Many were expecting a surprise on May 2nd to celebrate the anniversary, but instead there has been a deafening silence. ‘Redfall’ seems to have died, and those who bet on it have lost all their chips. You’ll see how they trust Bethesda next time. Oh, yes.
