Redfall
Redfall is an open-world, co-op FPS from Arkane Austin, the award-winning team behind Prey and Dishonored. Continuing Arkane’s legacy of carefully crafted worlds and immersive sims, Redfall brings the studio’s signature gameplay to this story-driven action shooter.
What it feels like
Survivors trapped together suggest themes of endurance and holding ground against overwhelming odds.
What it's about
Vampires as the primary antagonists make the supernatural central to the setting and narrative. Vampire siege and isolation on an island create a horror-tinged atmosphere, though action-focused rather than fear-primary. The island cut off from the outside world and trapped survivors emphasize isolation as a core setting element.
How it plays
Aiming and firing ranged weapons with tactile feedback is the core moment-to-moment interaction in this FPS. Steam user tags and Arkane's immersive-sim legacy suggest stealth gameplay is a viable approach to encounters. Arkane's signature immersive-sim design philosophy carries over, offering player-authored solutions within systemic worlds.
How it looks and sounds
First-person perspective is the foundational visual mode for an FPS shooter.
How it's structured
Redfall is explicitly an open-world game where players explore the island of Redfall in a largely non-linear fashion. Online co-op for up to four players is a core feature allowing squad-based play. The game is designed to be played solo, with co-op as an option rather than a requirement.
