Microsoft’s next exclusive FPS is expected in the first half of 2023 on Xbox Series and PC. Developed by Arkane Studios, redfall promises an action game that can be played alone or with up to four people in co-op. And given the videos available, it would be tempting to think of a specific one Previous 4 blood. Normal, you will tell me, between the twilight atmosphere, the realistic world and the demons, many elements resonate. However, according to a recent interview published by the Gamesradar site, that will obviously not be the case.
Ricardo Bare, creative director at Arkane, clarified that despite appearances redfall will be closer Far away what of Previous 4 blood :
It is entirely understandable to come to this conclusion. There are four playable characters in co-op and you face off against ghosts. But in terms of experience, it’s not at all. We’re definitely closer to a Far Cry.
We will be in an open world here and will not be faced with individually cut missions. A large and realistic world with recognizable elements. A play area that you must know, much bigger than Talos seen in preyor even Dunwall from the series dishonored. In redfallwe can fight at our own pace.
Without wanting to compete with worlds as big as some created by redfall will still be extensive and full of things to do.
You will have a base where you can converse with NPCs and start side missions. You can also take on main missions at the dedicated table. Where you can just visit the world freely. Curious about what’s hiding in a barn? Do you want to collect all the hidden documents to discover the lore? You can do it!
Good, that redfall getting closer Far away conceptually, the vehicles will be completely absent. The experience will be more down to earth:
We want you to crawl through a field at night. Seeing a barn in the distance, you realize it’s occupied by cultists and survivors who need to be rescued. It is these sensations that we want to transcribe redfall
.
In the same interview, studio head Harvey Smith succinctly spelled out the studio’s inspiration for the entire multiplayer aspect: Dungeons and Dragons ! Referencing the cool side and depth of this type of games.
redfall will be one of Xbox’s big guns in 2023. The result of an exceptional studio, a former master in FPS. death loop is the latest example. A title that mixes familiar elements with originality that sets it apart from all its competitors. Now it remains to know the exact release date. Rumors speak of next May, but without formalizing for now, let’s not put the cart before the horse. Let’s just give Arkane time to set a new standard in this area!
