Arkane Austin says that their open-world vampire slaying co-op romp, Redfall, will be released on May 2, 2023. Redfall is a console exclusive on Xbox Series X|S, but will also be released on PC and Game Pass on the same date.
The announcement came alongside over ten minutes of new gameplay footage, which you should be able to see below. The gameplay footage shows off just a little bit of what players will get to experience throughout the island of Redfall. You will be able to take on a variety of missions in an effort to take out vampires, vampire underbosses, gathering intel on various mysteries, and then eventually take on the big vampire gods.
Once the very picture of Smalltown, USA, the island town of Redfall used to be known for its quaint streets, breezy boardwalks and charming neighborhoods. Then the vampires moved in and ruined everything. First, they eclipsed the sun and pushed back the tides. Then they started turning all the island’s inhabitants into either minions for their army… or food.
Arkane does plan to release additional content for the game after release. There is a "Bite Back Edition" that will grant players access to the Hero Pass that includes two future heroes, the Throwback Outfit Pack with a unique outfit and backpack for each of the four base heroes, a Laser Beam multi-weapon skin, and the Tactical Knife Stake weapon attachment. All pre-orders will get the Vampire Hunter Pack. This includes the Grim Tide Shotgun, which grants 20% increased damage for eight seconds after killing an enemy. The pack also includes a Polar Vortex multi-weapon skin and a Blood Ravager Stake weapon attachment.
