Arkane Austin’s latest creation was met with poor reviews from both fans and critics alike. In a review back in May, it was labeled as “one of the worst games of the year.” This sentiment was echoed by many, including Xbox head Phil Spencer, who expressed his disappointment with Redfall. There were even rumors that the developers themselves were quietly hoping for Microsoft to cancel the project.
Despite this grim scenario, Bethesda Softworks’ head of publishing, Pete Hines, remains committed to Redfall’s improvement. He stated that “we’re going to get it to be a good game,” emphasizing their ongoing dedication to player satisfaction. He acknowledged that they are constantly learning and striving to meet player expectations.
