Redfall: Every Weapon Confirmed So Far
Arkane Studios is on a roll with last year's Deathloop now available on Xbox Game Pass, and now all eyes await the studio's next project: Redfall. Redfall is an open-world cooperative first-person shooter that was initially announced in 2021 as an Xbox (and PC) exclusive. Arkane Austin is developing it as opposed to the main studio in France. While Redfall was initially scheduled to release this year, its release date has been pushed back to sometime within the first half of 2023. The added time promises to provide the game with the extra coat of polish it needs, and thankfully Arkane Austin has started to pull back the curtain on the upcoming vampire shooter.
Arkane Austin is taking a unique approach to the standard four-player cooperative shooter formula, with Redfall taking cues from Borderlands and Left 4 Dead. Drawing on Borderlands for inspiration bodes well for players who favor Gearbox's penchant for role-playing and looting, and this has gamers eager to learn what weapons they'll be able to take against Redfall's vampire hordes and the humans who align themselves with it. It's easy to assume that genre standards like shotguns, pistols, and sniper rifles will make the cut, but this wouldn't be an Arkane game without creative twists.
How Redfall Differs From Arkane Studios' Other Games
The game promises to provide weaponry that walks the line between high-end military tech, old shotguns, and handcrafted weaponry specifically made to eliminate vampires. One weapon already piquing interest is the various stake launchers found in Redfall. Gameplay footage has already revealed an assortment of weaponry from assault rifles, silenced handguns, a visceral-looking sawed-off shotgun, and the aforementioned stake launcher.
