There is a little more than a month left for the launch of redfallone of the most anticipated Xbox exclusives of the year developed by Arkane Studios. It is confirmed that Redfall requires an internet connection to be able to play, either alone or with friends, but the Arkane developers are looking at a way to remove this requirement when playing alone.
Redfall goes on sale on May 2, 2023 on Xbox Series X | S and PC, coming from its launch to the Xbox Game Pass service. Although it is very close to release, Arkane Austin boss Harvey Smith confirmed in an interview with Eurogamer that they are looking into the possibility of allowing Redfall to be played offline solo.
Since it was announced that Redfall requires an internet connection at all times to play, many players have been disappointed, which has been noticed by the Arkane developers. Thanks to player feedback Arkane Austin is taking into account players who do not have internet access or who do not have a good connection.
There are people who live in places where there are blackouts or their connection is bad, or they are competing with their family members, because their mom is streaming a movie or their siblings are on other devices… So I think it’s a valid criticism” .
The boss of Arkane Austin acknowledged the disagreement of the players for the permanent connection requirement for Redfall since there are many places where it is not so easy to have a good internet connection, in addition to the fact that the situation at home can vary for each player. . In addition to this, Arkane games have distinguished themselves as single player games that are played offline without any issues, as in the case of Dishonored, Dishonored 2, and Deathloop.
Without a doubt, this is a good step on the part of Arkane, since many players remain skeptical of buying a game that requires a permanent internet connection since in the future their servers could be closed and we would lose access to the game. It is not known if the change will arrive in time and it will not be necessary to connect to the internet to play Redfall solo since its launch, so it only remains to wait for new updates from Arkane.
