Even the Safe Houses, which can be found and unlocked in each district of the map, repeat themselves almost immediately. There are some side quests that can be found by exploring or speaking to people in your base, but sadly they're basically shorter versions of similar ideas. They're linear and mostly revolve around heading out to a location to pick up an item, interact with something, or take down a named vampire - which are essentially just stronger versions of the standard vamps you'll find roaming the streets. You start at a base, with main quests chosen from a mission board. It's essentially a squad-based shooter, more akin to something like Back 4 Blood or even The Division 2 in terms of mission structure and the way it handles multiplayer progression (albeit with some odd quirks). You can watch nearly 12 minutes of gameplay from Redfall in the video above.For a studio so renowned for making titles unlike other games, Redfall is surprisingly familiar. Redfall will be one of the first first-party Xbox and PC games from Microsoft to be sold at a new, higher price point: $69.99. Arkane Austin studio director Harvey Smith has said that Redfall is not a Left 4 Dead-like horde shooter, and its gameplay appears more akin to co-op fare like Borderlands. The open-world cooperative shooter is playable solo or with up to four survivors, each with their own unique traits and abilities. It was delayed, alongside Starfield, back in May. Redfall was announced at E3 2021, and was originally planned to arrive last year.

That involves clearing out a vampire infestation and then mowing down waves of super-goth jerks hell-bent on sharing their drama with you. In a lengthy showcase during the presentation, Arkane demoed the kind of missions and undead adversaries that players can expect when the survival horror game arrives. Redfall will launch on Game Pass for Xbox and PC.

Arkane Studios’ Redfall, the first-person shooter that pits a group of survivors against an infestation of vampires in an overrun seaside town, is coming to Xbox Series X and Windows PC on May 2, publisher Bethesda Softworks revealed during Wednesday’s Xbox Developer Direct livestream.
