During the Xbox Bethesda Showcase, Phil Spencer unveiled for the first time Redfall, Arkane's new game (Dishonored, Prey, Deathloop) which will be exclusive to Xbox consoles.

While it will still be an FPS like the studio's previous games, this time the game will be open-world and promises an immersive experience playable both alone and with friends.
The title action takes place on the picturesque island of Redfall, Massachusetts, which is besieged by a legion of vampires who have blocked the sun and cut off the island from the outside world.

To face your enemies, you will be able to choose your hero from a diverse roster and build the perfect team of vampire slayers.
Unlike Deathloop which is scheduled for this end of the year on PS5 and PC, Redfall will be exclusive to Xbox consoles as announced by Phil Spencer.
Scheduled for 2022, the game will be available in Xbox Game Pass on PC and Xbox Series.

 

[dottme]

So fun trailer, but what kind of game is it?

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

4 player co op is everywhere.

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

It's an Arkane immersive shooter so I am excite but please spare us these prerendered flavour trailers.
Also, get working on Prey 2 ffs.

Left 4 Dead but open world and magic vampires and stuff.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

I already posted this in the conference thread, but seeing Arkane go from making Prey to making Deathloop and this game is just a travesty.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I can't fucking believe this

What happened to my Vampire Sim?

 

[LazyParrot]

Bit late to jump on the Destiny clone bandwagon.

 

[Flabagast]

So MS decided to ruin Arkane, one of the top 3 best single player game devs at the time of acquisition.

Not surprising I guess, but utterly soul-crushing.

 

[Max_Po]

C R I N G E ... a smaller C R I N G E than the Ninja THeory shooter game...

How the fuck is MS fault here...This games was in development before the acquisition

 

[Wandering Leopard]

CGI huh (unless I missed something).

Do you think this game that's coming out a year from now only began development 3 months ago?

This was clearly a project from before the acquisition

 

[Kilau]

Cool trailer, not interested in 4 player co-op games though.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

I really hate Arkane's art style. The diverse cast of characters look ugly as fuck.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I like the characters; but feels like a post-2022 game w/ the BS pre-rendered trailer.

You think Deathloop and RedFall got greenlit after the MS purchase?

Arkane was struggling to stay afloat with Dishonored and Prey. You can't slowly drown and not try a different stroke.

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Ngl was interested in the rumor it would be something similar to vampire the masquerade or soul reaver. or some badass Gothic vampire game with dishonored's Victorian gothic/steampunk style. seeing this...IDK now

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Looks like uninspired shit, dumb to end the conference with, really liked the rest of the conference 7/10

You know this was in development before Microsoft purchased them, right? Your hate for Microsoft really shows in this comment of yours.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Cinematic so meh.

Yeah same, I was expecting something with a much darker tone. This still has loads of potential, but it was for sure not what I expected

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Cringefall. Great. One more thing. Really?

 

[reinking]

Meh. Even the name is cringe IMO. Going to keep an eye on it though.

 

[Dr Kaneda]

Look terrible, and that's coming from someone that excited for Deathloop.

 

[RoboEight]

Many of these types of games lately are all starting to look the same and I mean that doesn't mean it'll be bad but I feel like I've seen this type of game so many times now. It's on Gamepass though so I will hold my full judgement till it comes out and I can give it a try because it may end up being amazing.

 

[Koenigssee]

Damn WTF happened Arkane, I know this is not from the same French devs but still.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Bunch of ethnically diverse gen-Z twats spouting off witty one-liners in their native dialects. Very progressive!

 

[Futurematic]

That's what Arkane Austin is making instead of Prey 2?!?

Yeesh.

 

[ZehDon]

Not feeling this one at all.

Cringe: The Game. They really needed to show the actual game and win over with gameplay; this trailer made a terrible first impression.

 

[Captain Toad]

Prey 2, not a Life 4 Dead with vampires knockoff.

At least, I think that's what this is. That trailer told us very little despite being so long.

Yeesh.

I mean Raphael Colantonio left the studio a long time ago and Prey was his baby. You can tell Arkane are going for more diverse settings since then, but this and Deathloop are very rooted in pop culture vs the Dishonored outputs and arx fatalis / dark messiah before that

Don't know what to think of it yet. Unfortunately Suicide Squad will be this ip's direct competition and there's an enormous chance that Rocksteady will kill it yet again so

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The millionth alien/zombie shooter + 5 min cut scene + no gameplay + cheesy visuals + ending the MS show with this = Thumbs Down

 

[Arachnid]

That's what Arkane Austin is making instead of Prey 2?!?

Yeesh.

I was thinking the same. It's Arkane, so it'll probably be good regardless.

Still, I wanted Prey 2 (preferably) or Dishonored 3.

 

[KingT731]

So it's just L4D with Vampires. Def killed the excitement. No gameplay footage as well.

 

[GHG]

I know I said I'm there for whatever Arkane do next but this really isn't what I wanted to see from them.

When I saw vampires I was hoping they got Vampire Masquerade but instead this looks like some 4 player co-op vampire shooter game.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and wait for more details because of who they are but if it's what I think it is then I'm out.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

CGI trailers...

 

[tusharngf]

so many co op shooters these days. I have seen literally 10 different shooters this year alone. Do people really love coop shooters?

Oh yeah. It was vampires. Close enough to a zombie shooter.

 

[Spacefish]

even with all that Microsoft money and the gamepass security net they chose to make a multiplayer shooter, even worse it looks like one of fifty new L4D clones that are in development. Arkane was probably my favourite western developer, this is super disappointing.

 

[Bragr]

Very underwhelmed, bland corny characters, following standard generic co-op trend. Why aren't these guys working on stuff that people actually want?

Did you see Forza Horizon 5 pretty sure that not CGI lol it looks to be the best looking game so far.

 

[PumpkinPie]

So what is it? I learned nothing from the trailer.

Yeh and when you consider it looks like a 4 player co-op shooter... :

 

[elliot5]

Excited to see gameplay! I'm sold on the premise. I know Arkane will deliver

 

[Riky]

Looked pretty interesting, didn't get a lot of information from that trailer though.
Nice to see the console exclusives piling up.
