Read the latest details on the game below:
Danger lurks around every corner and it’s up to you to clean up the streets. Take on a variety of missions throughout the world and face down terrifying vampire underbosses to make the town a little safer for the survivors. While you’re busy being the friendly neighborhood vampire hunter, you’ll also be gathering intel about the mysteries surrounding the island and its new vampire overlords — intel that will eventually lead you to the vampire gods controlling everything…
Once the very picture of Smalltown, USA, the island town of Redfall used to be known for its quaint streets, breezy boardwalks and charming neighborhoods. Then the vampires moved in and ruined everything. First, they eclipsed the sun and pushed back the tides. Then they started turning all the island’s inhabitants into either minions for their army… or food.
Experience Redfall solo or with up to three friends and face off against the bloodsuckers holding the island hostage. In signature Arkane style, you will choose your path across the island and through the vampire masses as you discover what caused this plague of bloodsuckers and put an end to the threat. Explore a beautifully hand-crafted world packed with detail and shine a light on the island’s darkest corners as you fight to uncover the vampires’ secrets. Choose from a roster of heroes with unique, upgradeable skills and gear them up with customizable weaponry found all over the island. Do whatever it takes to build the perfect squad of vampire slayers.

This game looks so goood. I know it's a shooter but Redfall looks so fun.
Games today aren't all about the graphics but hell those graphics.......well......they look like they are from 2015 (or before). Perhaps that's the style they were trying to utilise but it just looks underwhelming.
As I said a game is more than just the graphics so lets hope the storytelling, size of the game world and variety of missions are good.
Yeah, the game has been in development even before Prey released back in 2017. So I'm really hoping that the 6 years of development was focused on making the worldbuilding, environmental storytelling, gameplay, and meaningful exploration worth experiencing instead of simply, "how do we make this game as pretty as possible?"
nah, look at the trailer in 4k, then say that again (the stream was just 1080p)
there was a lot of artistic variety also
Ok im sold. I cant wait to play this game it looks great. Also @Jumpinbeans. Care to point out a game from 2015 that had lighting effects that looked as good as we are seeing here?. Sure i will give you the character models but that seems to be a style with Arkane. But the World and the lighting i honestly cant remember any game from 2015 looking like that.
Not for me
