  • Arkane's Redfall to Release on May 2

    Get ready to slay some vampires in early May.

    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.
    Redfall can be played alone or with up to three additional friends. Just like in most every other Arkane game, you will be able to choose how you tackle various objectives and encounters. Players will also get to play as different characters, each having their own upgradeable skills, gear, and abilities. There are also a bunch of different weapons that can be found around Redfall, which can also be customized.

    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.

      Redfall is Arkane's Worst Game Ever
      by Shawn Zipay
      It's also the worst "AAA" developed title in recent memory.

      It was a struggle to finish Redfall. It was an absolute struggle thanks to performance issues, technical deficiencies, crashes, broken A.I., and uninspired quest design. It was the antithesis of fun and I pushed myself to complete the game out of pure spite.

      Prior to playing Redfall, I saw Arkane as a studio that could do no wrong when it comes to their output. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic in 2006...

      The scores are probably to be expected given the troubled development.

      Reviews are in for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 and they're probably about what you expected them to be. They may not be what you wanted them to be though, but given the game's troubled development this is probably the best possible outcome for the game that was once extremely anticipated by fans.

      Bloomberg Reports on What Led to Redfall's Downfall
      by Shawn Zipay
      Development so troubled that developers hoped it would just get cancelled.

      It may come as no surprise to you to hear that the development of Redfall from Arkane Austin was plagued with issues at all levels. This includes a lack of oversight from Xbox management, staffing issues, and an ever changing design basis for the game itself. When Redfall launched last month, it was met with plenty of poor review scores from critics and players. It was filled with a myriad of technical bugs,...

      Move over Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, your issues are old news.

      Arkane Austin and Bethesda released their open-world vampire slaying game Redfall today and it's not great. I'll say it. It's not great. Still, if you are interested in finding out for yourself if it's good or not, you can presently play Redfall on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass.
