Bethesda Promises Updates and Improvements for Redfall
Arkane Austin’s Co-op Vampire Shooter to Receive 60FPS Mode
Bethesda Softworks’ latest release, Redfall, may have had a somewhat disappointing start, but the company is determined to turn things around. According to Pete Hines, the publishing head at Bethesda, the studio is committed to continuing support and improvement for the game, just as they did with previous titles like The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76.
Hines recently spoke with GamesIndustry.biz and reassured fans that Redfall is a long-term project for Bethesda. He stated, “We are the same company that has had launches that didn’t go the way we wanted, and we don’t quit or abandon stuff just because it didn’t start right. The Elder Scrolls Online’s PC launch was not flawless, but we stuck with it. Now it’s like this insanely popular multiplatform. It’s the same with Fallout 76. Redfall is no different for us.”
With this commitment in mind, Bethesda has already delivered some minor patches for Redfall, addressing issues related to gameplay, combat, AI/NPC, environment, multiplayer, accessibility, UI, and improving overall performance and stability. However, one major update that fans can look forward to is a 60FPS mode, which is still in development.
Game Pass Ensures Longevity for Redfall
In addition to these updates, Hines emphasized the long-term value Redfall holds as part of the Xbox Game Pass. He mentioned that Game Pass lives “forever,” meaning that even years from now, new players joining the service will still have access to Redfall. This ensures continued support and potential growth for the game.
Hines stated, “Okay, we didn’t get the start we wanted, but it’s still a fun game… and we’re going to keep working on it. We’re going to do 60FPS. We’re going to get it to be a good game because we know, as a first-party studio, Game Pass lives forever. There will be people ten years from now who are going to join Game Pass, and Redfall will be there.”
The Future of Redfall
While Redfall may have faced initial disappointment, Bethesda’s commitment to continuous improvement provides hope for a brighter future. With the promise of a 60FPS mode and ongoing updates, players can expect Redfall to evolve into a more enjoyable experience over time.
If you have already given Redfall another try since the recent patches, Bethesda and Arkane Austin appreciate your support and are working tirelessly to address any lingering concerns. The studio’s determination to deliver a satisfying gaming experience, coupled with the reassurance of Game Pass longevity, bodes well for the future of Redfall.
Conclusion
With the belief that any rough start can be overcome, Bethesda’s commitment to Redfall demonstrates their dedication to providing players with a fulfilling gaming experience. Through the implementation of patches and promises of a 60FPS mode, fans can look forward to the continued improvement of Redfall and its lasting presence on the Xbox Game Pass.
