As you can see, this was pretty darned accurate! Since then, rumours have swirled around when in 2023 was going to release. As the rumours went, Redfall was aiming for a March release, but Arkane and Bethesda pushed the launch back by around six weeks to now target the first week of May 2023. Previously expected to release in the summer of 2022, Redfall was delayed alongside Bethesda’s highly anticipated sci-fi RPG to 2023. They delved into a sprawling upgrade tree for each character, showing off Layla’s umbrella ability to block and send bullets back at enemies, and then there’s a rather wild array of weapons – you can customise your weapons with bayonet-like vampire stakes. Then there’s the side-mission to reclaim Redfall, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, clearing under-bosses and claiming their skulls on the way to fighting the vampire gods themselves. Naturally you’ll be able to grab a reward and then try to escape before the nest collapses. There’s also side-content, such as a cultist infested brewery – they used Remi’s robot to distract the cultists for easier takedowns – and to even investigate otherworldly psychic spaces that change every time you head inside, working through the vampire nest to take down the heart at its core – this will be fiercely defended by vampires. Take down enough vampires and you’ll have angered the Vampire Gods, who will summon the Rook to absolutely batter you.


They played as Layla, using invisibility to stealthily sneak past some enemies, to get to and reactivate the lighthouse. Exploring in this gameplay demo showed them breaking taking on a mission to reach a lighthouse, fighting a variety of vamps along the way.

You’ll take missions from other survivors at various safe houses, like the town’s fire station.
