We are already in 2023, the year in which we will see the new Arkane exclusively for the Xbox ecosystem: Redfall, the title, which should arrive in the first six months of the year, is one of the most anticipated games because it represents a new twist in the study proposal.
A studio that knows how to create deep worlds, with incredible environmental storytelling and excellent gameplay and combat systems. Unsurprisingly, they are at the helm of works like Ars Fatalis, Deathloop or even Dishonored. Now, with Redfall, we are presented with a cooperative shooter where we will manage a vampire hunting team in a small coastal town in Massachusetts.
And, although many compare it to Left 4 Dead, the study assures that it has nothing to do with it. Something Harley Smith and Ricardo Bare clarified in their latest exclusive with GamesRadar.
Don’t expect Arkane’s Left 4 Dead in Redfall
In this lengthy interview, they shared a slew of new information about all that awaits us in Redfall. For example, they shared that the the map will be an inimitable open world, bigger than Prey’s Talos 1, where we will have two different neighborhoods. One of them will be an urban area and another will be rural. In addition, we will have a base of operations where we can talk to other characters (NPCs) and get side missions.
Speaking of contact with other characters, they confirmed that we will have a dynamic dialogue system between players to be able to interact with each other. On the other hand, they confirmed that Redfall will have a day and night cycle,
Redfall looks like what you would get if you combined the creative values of Far Cry 2 or STALKER.
And to face cultists and vampires we will have a wide range of weapons. many of them They will incorporate wooden stakes, because that will be the only way to get rid of the vampires once we have weakened them. But that won’t be the only thing we’ll have, since we’ll have flares, stake launchers, and more.
Gunplay is essential and for this they have hired FPS specialists in addition to having the using the identification software, developers from the latest Doom and the best studios in the genre.
We want you to creep through a cornfield at night in the mist, listening to vampires whisper in the dark. You might see a farm in the distance, only to find it’s full of bodybuilders and a few trapped survivors you can save. That’s the kind of vibe that Redfall has.
