Redfall Developer Arkane Studios won’t be shuttered down despite the lackluster release of the vampire FPS title, according to Microsoft. The studio will continue to provide updates for the game, with Xbox Game Studios offering support during the process.

In an interview with Axios, Xbox Game Studios chief Matt Booty discussed what went wrong with Redfall and what the studio plans to do moving forward. Booty claims that the company could have done more for Arkane Studios, particularly for the Arkane Austin office, which spearheaded the project. “I feel accountable that we could have done a better job with Arkane,” he stated.

Booty also mentioned that despite the disappointing launch of Redfall, the game is seeing “good play” via the Xbox Game Pass, implying that there is at least interest in the title, albeit through the subscription service. “It was a miss, but how much of a miss? I want to support them to be able to keep working to deliver the game they had in mind,” Booty said.

Finally, Booty confirmed that the Arkane Studio will continue to operate despite the whole Redfall fiasco, with the devs still working to bring updates to the game. “That is the plan right now. They are hard at work on updates and continued content for Redfall.”

Redfall isn’t exactly Arkane Studio’s most critically acclaimed work, but the studio is at least continuing to work on it. With enough updates, the game may become polished enough to please both the devs and the fans, though only time will tell when that will happen.
