The developers of the game are pouring new details on one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Redfall (Arkane) began development in 2018 and beyond setting a general goal of an "Arcayne multiplayer title", the team had no clear vision or direction to work with.
The game was horribly generic and certainly didn't mention Arcaine's charm. Microsoft did not give up and promised that Arcayne would improve the situation, but the problem stems from the basics. The hope is that the upcoming Xbox Showcase will be able to take out the bad taste left over from Redfall.
