Redfall's final update seems like a valiant effort to improve overall experience, though it's bittersweet given Arkane Austin's closure. The added offline mode and new ranking system could've definitely changed the gameplay dynamics for the better earlier on.

Redfall's final update seems like a proper send-off with some solid features like offline mode and the new Elder Nest system. It’s a shame about Arkane Austin, but it's nice to see them trying to polish the game for their dedicated community.

I'm really digging the new features in Redfall's final update—an offline mode and single-player pausing were much needed Arkane Austin might be closing its doors, but they’re leaving the game in a better spot for the fans.
