Bethesda Announces Redfall Delay
As the summer months begin to kick in, gaming fans around the world are waiting with bated breath for the slew of announcements set to come from events such as Summer Game Fest and the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase in June. These events are usually home to some of the biggest news stories of the year and gameplay reveals for some of the most anticipated games set to be released. That said, the bad news usually precedes them, and it has once again in this case, with Bethesda announcing that Arkane's upcoming co-operative shooter Redfall has been delayed to 2023.
Redfall was first announced as part of the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase in 2021, and was set to be the first Xbox console exclusive title released under Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, which was finalized last year. The game is coming from developer Arkane, which released its last game, Deathloop, as a timed PlayStation 5 console exclusive in 2021, with an Xbox release expected later this year. Coming from Arkane's Austin studio, Redfall is an open-world first-person shooter, seemingly inspired by titles such as Left 4 Dead but with Arkane's unique flair for exciting and mechanically deep gameplay.

Bethesda announced today however that Redfall would be delayed to 2023 alongside the highly anticipated new IP from Bethesda Game Studios, Starfield. Both games have yet to reveal gameplay footage, though Redfall suffers the worst from this delay as the game was originally slated for summer 2022. However, a lack of any updates from Xbox Game Studios or Bethesda meant that this grew increasingly unlikely as the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase for 2022 approaches.
