Xbox and Bethesda Games on Sunday unveiled a new co-op, open-world first-person shooter titled “Redfall.” The game comes from Arkane Austin, the award-winning team behind “Prey” and “Dishonored,” where players will face off against a legion of vampires.
Featuring a single-player mode as well as co-op with up to four players, players will battle a group of vampires that have overtaken the once quaint town of Redfall. But these aren’t just any vampires, Redfall’s vampires are the result of a scientific experiment gone wrong. After their transformation, some of them develop powerful abilities and become specialized vampires like the Angler. As shown in the trailer, the Angler uses a psychic harpoon to drag you away from your team, leaving you vulnerable and alone.
Players will be able to pick from a roster of four heroes, each with their own unique personalities and abilities. During gameplay players will not only explore the story of the island and the cause of the plague of vampires, but the individual stories of each of the games heroes. Along the way, you’ll find customizable weaponry, which will aid you in building the perfect vampire slayer.
Devinder Crousley
Dev is an internet-famous paranormal investigator, amateur cryptozoologist and aspiring inventor. Armed with weapons of his own creation, he’s on a mission to reveal the truth behind what’s happening in Redfall. If he survives, he’ll have one hell of a story to tell and the proof to back it all up.
Layla Ellison
Layla studied biomedical engineering at Redfall Technical University and interned at the ominous Aevum Therapeutics research facility, where something went very wrong. She says everything is kind of a blur. The last thing she remembers is waking up with a killer headache and wild telekinetic powers.
Remi de la Rosa
Remi De La Rosa is a combat engineer, and a brilliant one at that. She’s lived her life on the frontlines of conflict, using her brilliant mind to protect her loved ones and help those in need around the world as part of an elite Navy rescue unit. Now, with the help of her robot cohort, Bribón, she’s determined to help save Redfall’s survivors.
Jacob Boyer
Jacob is an ex-military sharpshooter, sent in to Redfall just before the sun went dark as part of an elite private security force. Separated from his platoon, now he stalks the streets of Redfall, neutralizing evil from the shadows with supernatural precision. Strange happenings on Redfall have left Jacob with a mysterious vampiric eye and a spectral raven that’s never far from his shoulder.
“Redfall” launches exclusively on Xbox X|S and PC in summer 2022 and will be available with Game Pass on day one.
