Here are our picks of the best Xbox Game Pass games (opens in new tab).
Players will gather together in squads of up to four - or solo - to take down the deadly vampires by any means necessary. And yes, as one of Microsoft's family of studios by way of the recent Bethesda acquisition, Redfall is indeed a day one addition to Xbox Game Pass as soon as it launches.įor more, here's everything we know so far about Redfall (opens in new tab), a new IP that sends players to the town of Redfall, which has been overrun by bloodsucking vampires. Arkane Studios is best known for creating immersive sims like Dishonored and Prey, though the developer's latest project Deathloop leaned into the first-person shooter genre.

Redfall is a new co-op vampire-slaying game from the developers of Deathloop, Dishonored, and Prey, and it's headed to Xbox Series X (opens in new tab), Xbox Series S (opens in new tab), and PC in summer/Q3 2022. A Redfall playtest images leak did reveal some key gameplay features, however, like looter shooter elements and missions spread across an open-world map. The news likely assured some fans who wondered how an entirely new IP could release as soon as next year, particularly as we've yet to see any gameplay footage. One character had a bird that acted as a sort-of drone, and the other could cloak for added stealth.ICYMI, Redfall has seemingly been in development for almost half a decade (opens in new tab), with some developers mentioning the game on their LinkedIn profiles as far back as August 2017, when the game was in early incubation.Sony bought Insomniac, but they're still not able to get Sunset Overdrive if they wanted it. Maybe Deathloop ends up the same way in the long term. Now the Hellblade sequel, besides being a ultra-high-budget title, isn't coming to Playstation period (at least all signs say that currently). I know nothing about the game, but purely from a industry history standard, this sounds more than a little like Hellblade-albeit mid-level rather than Triple-A exploratory title, but an exclusive that Sony was extremely proud of.that wasn't an exclusive for long, and the Microsoft acquisition changed it forever. That being said, it's out in two days, so it's time to shine may be right around the corner. It got far more hype upon first announcement, but as often happens, it fizzled off very quickly. don't know why that completely dropped out my head. Game looks like a modern Dark Messiah.ĮDIT: Yep, Lyon is Deathloop, Austin is Redfall. they do assist each other and collaborate on their projects obviously, but i do believe they largely separate team and that its the Austin studio working on Redfall.ĭeathloop HAS to be Arkane Lyon. pretty sure it was Lyon that was the lead on Prey and Austin that led development on the Dishonored games. I didnt even know there were separate Arkane studios. I think Prey was Arkane Lyon wasn't it? so there's still hope for that when they announce what they've been working on. I really wanted Prey 2, as unlikely as it is. I know people will probably be disappointed in it being a looter shooter, but I love those so I'm into it, especially with the cool setting and the Arkane team behind it. Closer to Borderlands or Assassin's Creed NPCs There are NPCs, but not AI partners replacing human co-op like in Left 4 Dead.Enemies are a dynamic mix of ranged, melee, vampire, and human.
