Developer Arkane has commented on what changed with its vampire game Redfall after Microsoft bought studio owner ZeniMax. Speaking to IGN France (via IGN), director Harvey Smith said there was a “huge sea change” for Redfall after Microsoft bought the company, and this included a decision to not bring the game to PlayStation 5.
“They said, ‘No PlayStation 5. Now we’re gonna do Game Pass, Xbox, and PC,'” Smith said.
Microsoft announced its intent to buy ZeniMax in September 2020 and completed the buyout in March 2021. Some are suggesting that Arkane was working on a PS5 edition of Redfall and canceled it after the buyout, but Smith did not say this outright. GameSpot has contacted Microsoft in an attempt to get more details on the situation.
