Redfall is Going to Have a Lot of Fun With Its Vampires

Although Arkane Studios have shown no gameplay of Redfall so far, it has provided enough information about the game to get a relatively clear picture of its gameplay. Redfall is a team-based FPS that proudly takes inspiration from Left 4 Dead; it leans into Left 4 Dead's team shooter concept by giving players different characters with different skills to choose from. Layla Ellison wields various magical powers, Jacob Boyer is a master sharpshooter, and so on. Redfall also has a different take on enemies. Players will find themselves battling vampires on the streets of Redfall, meaning they may face much more intelligent foes than Left 4 Dead's zombie hordes.

Vampires may behave differently from other undead, but notably, Redfall will still have a system of variants similar to Left 4 Dead's Special Infected. That's important because Redfall's premise allows Arkane to get even more experimental with its special enemies than Left 4 Dead. In Redfall, the vampires partially stem from a science experiment gone wrong. The combination of science fiction and fantasy in Redfall opens the door to a huge variety of vampire concepts that could make its gameplay far more diverse and exciting than any other Left 4 Dead imitator on the market.
