Please don't. Let Arkane make some video game kino instead.

Unfortunately, most of the original team is gone now. I hope they’ve moved on to better things

Every game that comes out is just gonna be a broken mess, and the devs will promise "don't worry guys, we'll fix it".

While they have no obligation to, because they already have your money

Bethesda is way smarter than that. People pay them to playtest and fix their games.

This was always the inevitable result of companies driven by shareholders seeing games that were released broken later receiving inexplicable critical praise when they were hammered into something closer to the original pitch.

Okay, good luck.

I honestly forgot about it.

Arakane Austin clearly didn't want to make that game as evidenced by their 70% dev exodus during development, and you really need a dedicated dev team to achieve a "redemption arc". This is likely another head office decision made with no understanding of their development team(s) or how to actually achieve it. I'm not holding my breath.
