Redfall, the highly criticized AAA release of 2023, is not giving up just yet. Despite being flooded with bugs, the developers have released a major update on Nov. 16 to address the game’s issues.
The latest update, known as Redfall Game Update 3, introduces new features such as the Basilisk sniper rifle, which has the ability to petrify Vampires. However, this power is limited to the first bullet in a full magazine, ensuring balance in gameplay. The developers have also made improvements to various gameplay elements to enhance the overall experience.
Game Update 3 focuses on fixing numerous issues that plagued Redfall, including problems with NPCs, enemy AI, missions, heroes, accessibility, interface, and general gameplay. While the highly anticipated Hero Pass has not been added yet, the developers at Arkane Studios have assured players that it is still in development, along with new heroes.
Despite its initial flop, Redfall still has a dedicated community of players who appreciate the efforts made by Arkane and Bethesda to patch up the game. Positive responses on Twitter and a small surge of positive reviews on the game’s Metacritic page (Xbox Series X) indicate that the game’s popularity may rise following the latest update.
Redemption stories in the gaming industry are not uncommon, with games like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 turning their fortunes around through continuous updates and improvements. Perhaps Redfall can follow a similar path if the developers continue to deliver updates and enhancements.
