Arkane Studio has been around for years now. However, you might know them best from their Dishonored franchise, Prey, and even their latest video game release, Deathloop. Alongside Deathloop, the development team over at Arkane had another video game title in the works called Redfall. If you enjoy games like Left 4 Dead, then this might be something worth keeping on your radar.
Redfall was first unveiled to the masses during the Xbox and Bethesda E3 2021 Showcase. If you don’t recall, it was the year prior that Microsoft made the behemoth acquisition deal. Purchasing ZeniMax for over $7 billion, this deal came with an assortment of studios. Included were the likes of Bethesda and Arkane.
During the stream, we were given the unveiling of Redfall, an upcoming open-world first-person shooter. The gameplay acts similar to the likes of Left 4 Dead in the sense that players are working together in a fight against a supernatural entity. However, instead of the undead hordes we’re used to seeing, Arkane opted to feature a legion of vampires to battle with. So grab some friends and prepare for a fight as you attempt to overthrow the vampire legion and save the town of Redfall.
What Platforms Will Redfall Be Available For?
Arkane Studios has delivered quite a few thrilling video game releases over the years. Likewise, those video games are released on several platforms. It wasn’t typically tied to any particular video game console. That’s not going to be the case anymore. The studio’s previous video game release, Deathloop, launched in 2021 for the PlayStation 5 and PC platform.
However, prior to the release of Deathloop, Microsoft had actually acquired the studio. With the massive ZeniMax Media purchase, Microsoft is now under in control of several notable studios. Included were the likes of Bethesda Softworks, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, and Arkane Studios to name just a few. Arkane Studios had previously made an exclusivity deal with Deathloop, which Microsoft honored.
That won’t be the case for Redfall. Instead, Redfall will only be available on the Microsoft console, the Xbox Series X/S, along with the PC platform. Additionally, since this is a Microsoft exclusive, you’ll also find the game available for the Game Pass subscription service, which means you will have access to this game on day one if you have an active subscription service.
Right now, there are no announced plans to see this game released on the competitor console platforms. Additionally, it doesn’t look like we’ll see Redfall launch on last-generation console platforms such as the Xbox One. Currently, we can expect Redfall in 2023.
