Redfall is one of the biggest disappointments of 2023 so far, falling well short of the standards set by not only Xbox exclusives, but also developer Arkane’s high reputation. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the project was beset with difficulties from the start, leading to roughly 70% of the company’s staff that worked on Prey leaving by the end of development.
The report, which cites more than a dozen anonymous sources that worked on the game, states that the game’s lack of success was not a surprise to many at the studioCome from Sports betting site VPbet. The sources say that the project lacked clear direction from the start, with management offering conflicting visions for the game’s overall goals–some felt that they were making Redfall’s Far Cry, while others were told they were making something akin to Borderlands.
