Bungie’s Marathon Appears To Be Targeting $40 Launch Price

Marathon, Bungie's new project, supposedly targets a $40 launch price. Marathon is an upcoming PvP extraction shooter originally revealed in May 2023. Sources have reportedly spoken to The Game Post about the upcoming title and that they're considering a $40 launch price for Marathon. This suggests that Bungie is opting for the game to be a pay-to-play premium model rather than free-to-play with microtransactions, as seen in plenty of current games, including their well-known Destiny 2. Recently, Bungie and Sony have discussed Marathon's pricing strategy and how they will approach it. Conversations and an extended dialogue likely happened once Sony's […]

Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin Closure May Not Be as Senseless as It Appears, Moon Studios CEO Says

According to Moon Studios ' CEO, the unfortunate closure of Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Prey, Redfall developer Arkane Austin may not be as senseless as it appears. Speaking on X/Twitter following the confirmation of the two studios' closure, Thomas Mahler highlighted how it's quite likely that there have been "inner dealings" for a while that could explain the two studios' closure, as he has rarely seen decisions being made on this scale that make absolutely no sense. It could be that Microsoft had previous discussions with these studios, and the decision to close them was made so that […]

Perfect Dark Reportedly in “Very Rough State,” Redfall Team Was Still Working on Big Updates

Xbox fans and some employees were blindsided earlier this morning when Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered, including Arkane Austin (Prey, Redfall), Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush), Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios. In the hours since then, additional rumors and details about what’s going on behind the scenes with some Xbox teams have emerged. Starting with Redfall, IGN reports that despite the game’s poor initial reception, major updates were still in the works right up until Arkane Austin's untimely demise. Reportedly, an update planned for this very month would have added the game’s […]

Deathloop Director Says Arkane Austin Closure a “F**king Gut Stab,” Redfall Development Done

Today opened with rather shocking news, as Microsoft announced a number of their studios were being shuttered including Arkane Austin (Prey, Redfall), Tango Gameworks (The Evil Within, Hi-Fi Rush), Alpha Dog Games, and Roundhouse Studios. Considering the recent success of some of these studios (Hi-Fi Rush was the most widely-acclaimed game Xbox had put out in recent years) and the general pro-developer message Phil Spencer and other Xbox execs tried to send while on their studio shopping spree over the pass few years, this has caught many off guard. Seemingly one of the people caught off guard is Dinga Bakaba, […]

Xbox Shuts Down Arkane Austin, Tango Gameworks, and a Couple More Bethesda Softworks Studios

Microsoft's Xbox division has decided to shut down four Bethesda Softworks studios, the most prominent being Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks. Arkane Austin was essentially one and the same with Arkane Lyon up until Dishonored 2, which was the first game to be developed specifically by the French office. Austin then delivered Prey, which attracted controversy ahead of its release because it appropriated the name of the 2006 cult game by Human Head Studios and also forced a name change on an indie game. On the other hand, Prey was an absolutely fantastic game that received high critical praise upon […]

Redfall Gets New Weapon and Improved Animations in Third Update; New Heroes Still in Development for 2024

A few hours ago, Arkane Austin released the third major update for Redfall. The highlight of the patch is the addition of a new weapon called Basilisk, an Unrivaled Sniper Rifle that can petrify vampires with the first bullet of a full magazine. Basilisk can be found randomly wherever Unrivaled items usually drop, though it has a higher chance of appearing from Bellwether containers found in the open world and from vampire nests. The Redfall update also improves NPC pathing and animations, reduces stuttering, and introduces several balance changes. AI/NPC Balanced enemy abilities and traits: Siphon’s Blood Torrent ability takes […]
