According to a new report, Microsoft killed Redfall just before releasing a major update

A new report suggests that Microsoft has made the decision to close Redfall Developer Arkane Austin and the cessation of work on the game came just before the expected release of a major update, with additional content also planned for the rest of the year.

The information comes from IGN, which was told that an update in May this year would have added offline functionality, which would have allowed the game to be played without a constant internet connection. This was a long-awaited feature in the works as significant fan backlash against the constant online request dominated the discussion Redfall‘s reveal period.
