How similar is Redfall to other Arkane games?ĭuring the Xbox Games Extended showcase, Bethesda’s Pete Hines also explained Redfall’s similarities and differences to developer Arkane’s previous work. It looks like Arkane's fondness for moment-to-moment gameplay and choices will bleed into Redfall, too, and we're curious to see just how far-reaching our personal decision-making will become in the final game. “When not doing the main story missions, players can help Redfall by taking neighborhoods back from the vampires and the cultists who worship them.” Redfall's website also states that the game's open world will be "ever-changing," and will be a "setting that reacts to your choices and actions." Between cultist bases and "twisted psychic spaces" called Nests, there's plenty to take care of before the island becomes safe once again. According to Bethesda, they've also developed a small army of cultists, which the Redfall website describes as "well-armed and ready to die for the vampires." Having setup bases and patrol routes across this island, we'll need to be careful. It's not just vampires we need to worry about, either. For players who prefer solo play, the official website states you can build your characters around playing alone, catering to both. The use of the word "seamlessly" implies that a drop-in co-op system could be implemented in Redfall, which would allow players to join someone else's game without needing to back out to the main menu. You'll be able to try out different playstyles and loadouts, too. The website states Redfall will blend "single and multiplayer options seamlessly, allowing the player to venture into the darkness alone or squad up with up to three friends for four-player co-op."
