Whereas Starfield is now getting wonderful scores and well liked, an earlier game from Bethesda this year was a major failure: Redfall. The vampire shooter was very disappointing and now several months later we hear virtually nothing and no one about it. Still, Bethesda is hopeful.
Pete Hines, the senior boss of communications and marketing at Bethesda Softworks, has indicated that they have no intention of dropping Redfall and he has said that the game will eventually get it right. The developer plans to do this by continuing to release updates. Ultimately, the goal is to reach the same quality as The Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76.
“We’re 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.
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.”
One of the reasons for not dropping Redfall is because new players can join forever because the game is available through Xbox Game Pass. So 10 years from now, people will still be able to play Redfall because the game is offered through the service.
