With QuakeCon 2022 come and gone this past weekend, Bethesda had plenty of news about upcoming and old games to share with us. We have our eyes on many exciting titles, one of which is Redfall. To our delight, the studio director of Arkane shared a deep-dive video that showcased an open world that feels similar to Dishonored.
Harvey Smith from Arkane spent some time chatting to the Redfall team in the video. You’ll notice how much they elaborate on characters, skills, environments, weapons, and so much more. The main surprise from Arkane is that they’re venturing into an open-world setting, which isn’t something that they usually do.
The Redfall team went all out to make a vast environment you can explore and investigate. It’s not simply about moving around and completing quests. You can enter stores and buildings, and you even have the chance to head to rooftops. Of course, there are also the shooting and horror aspects, which will make you jump at several points in the game.
The best part of the Redfall video was seeing the various skill trees and weapons you can use to slay vampires in the game. There are interesting ways you can recover health and level up your character. It also seems like single- and multiplayer features will work together seamlessly.
Bethesda shared some other news with me over the weekend with exciting news delivered at QuakeCon 2022. If you head to the Microsoft Store and Xbox Games Pass, you’ll see many of Bethesda’s titles now available for free and at discount. Some of the Games Pass games you can now play include Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 4, Wolfenstein 3D, and An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire.
