Arkane Austin, head of Redfall, will close its doors, as announced by official sources. Matt Booty, head of the games division at Microsoft, indicated that part of the studio’s development team would be relocated to other projects and that, unfortunately, many more workers will be laid off.

In this situation appears the figure of Dinga Bakaba, who was able to be the creative director of Deathloop and who currently occupies the same role asbehind the game of Blade. Bakaba used your Twitter/X account to give, without mincing words, his opinion on the closure of Arkane Austin.

A decision that hits hard

In an abundant publication, Bakaba develops in a discourse, sometimes almost philosophical, on the responsibilities of companies towards their developers and creative, with phrases like: “They tell us they are proud of us when we play a good game, make us proud of you in difficult times” or “We’re seeing the decline of the big teams, which is a fucking blow to the gut.”
