According to art director Karen Segars, Talos’ size equates to “five football fields” while Redfall’s map is “kinda ‘hold my beer’ on that one.” Arkane Austin studio director Harvey Smith then recalled a moment during development when one of the developers took Talos at scale and placed it in a farm in Redfall’s second district area. “And the district just eats the whole space station, of course. It’s gigantic.”

That’s pretty wild, and as lead producer Aaron Carter clarified, the farm area that Talos 1 takes up in Redfall’s map is “just one mission.” While this comparison does an
