Available since May 2, Redfall did not really convince the crowds and was released in a very questionable state. A little over a month following its launch, Arkane Austin today unveils a first big update.
Update 1.1 is available
This 1.1 update is colossal and fixes a lot of problems. Whether it’s gameplay, AI, performance, multiplayer, accessibility or even the interface, all areas are concerned in order to considerably improve the player experience.
You will find below the complete patch note in French with the details of the fixes. The studio ensures for its part to continue to work to improve the game, and that this big update will be followed by other patches.
More information on future updates, including the arrival of the 60 FPS Performance mode on Xbox Series X|S, will be given soon.
