"Every company makes the decisions they make for the reasons they make them."
"It was a shock at first, but who I really felt for were the people who were new, this was their first project or they'd only been in the industry for a while."

Arkane Austin developed the vampire shooter Redfall under Harvey Smith's leadership. Redfall launched in May 2023 and failed to find a sustainable audience. Microsoft closed Arkane Austin about a year after launch and discontinued most support for the game.

The closure surprised many given Arkane's wider track record of well-received titles, and concerns focus on newer staff whose careers were affected. Arkane Lyon continues development on a Marvel Blade project but public news has been sparse.
