sportskeeda.com:

Redfall is Arkane’s upcoming first-person shooter game. The title was struck with some delays, but fans can now rejoice as it has a release date of May 2, 2023. Little was known about the game apart from the fact that it will be a co-op shooter in the Left For Dead series veins.

Fans were left speculating whether Redfall would be an open-world game or feature a hub-based design. The recent gameplay deep dive during the Develop Direct livestream confirms that the game will be open-world. The town of Redfall comprises several locations and is one seamless open world for the first time in any Arkane game.

Redfall will feature many locations worldwide, ranging from abandoned factories and shipyards to detailed landmarks like a lighthouse. The deep dive video also touches upon the safe areas scattered around the town. This is where players can interact with survivors of the vampire outbreak and stock up on supplies, ammo, and more.

Like fire stations, safe spots in the town also act as a hub area for partaking in side missions. Bulletin boards and even other survivors give players tasks and side quests. Apart from these locations, there are random encounters one can stumble onto while exploring.

Some locations are under the control of vampires and cultists. Players can even confront them to free the survivors. There are many ways to approach combat as well. One can use silenced weapons in case one wishes to stick to stealth. Add to that the four characters in the game that offer their unique expertise in such scenarios.

Players can use Remi De La Rosa and her robot companion, Bribon, to distract some vampires and take them out with silenced weapons. Alternatively, fans can blast their way with friends and mow down the vampires
