Redfall: Arkane Austin's FPS resurfaces, a muscular gameplay video that presents the mechanics of the game

It is therefore to Redfall that returned the honor of opening the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase through a 6-minute gameplay video. The opportunity for the developers of Arkane Austin to return in detail to the various mechanics of the game. Arkane fans expect from the studio, we are told. A mysterious open world, a cast of charismatic heroes, strategic combat that will put your senses to the test, detailed environments carefully created, a narration developed and immersive, a wide variety of weapons... and vampires. Lots of vampires. Sneaky vampires that grab you and separate you from your group. Monstrous vampires capable of tearing you and your team to pieces. divine vampires powerful enough to eclipse the sun. Arkane vampires."

Of course, each character will have their own powers that can be improved:

• Layla Ellison : A biomedical engineering student. An experiment went wrong during her internship at a research institute, and she has been developing telekinetic skills ever since.
• Jacob Boyer : A former Army sniper who turned to private militias. Under murky circumstances during an operation in Redfall, Jacob found himself gifted with an enigmatic vampiric eye and a spectral crow that never leaves him.
• Rémi de la Rosa: A brilliant military engineer who has spent her life on the battlefield. With the help of her robot soldier, Bribón, she is determined to come to the aid of the survivors of Redfall.
• Devinder Crousley : An amateur cryptozoologist and budding inventor. Equipped with weapons of his own invention, he is determined to bring the truth to light.

In addition, we are told that it will be possible to play solo in Redfall. “While playing solo will force you to rely only on yourself, forming a squad will allow you to combine your forces with those of other players and test various strategies only viable in a team, it is specified. Of course, you can change whenever you want. With its seamless mix of single and multiplayer, Redfall gives you the freedom to play with whoever you want. How you want to face the darkness is up to you."

Obviously, vampires will play a central role in Redfall. "The vampires of Redfall have pushed the ocean away from the shores of the island and obscured the sun, turning this once peaceful little town into a personal playground, is it underlined in the official press release. Created during scientific experiments having gone wrong (or right, if you're one of the vampires) and blessed with powerful psychic abilities, the vampires of Redfall are unlike anything you know.These creatures of the night have their own hierarchy, a scale of power that starts with the “standard” minions and works its way up to...well, you'll see.As you level up, these monsters will become more cunning and dangerous and will require a fair amount of creativity on your part to defeat .Running in headlong isn't the best tactic when you don't know what's around the corner." They won't be the only threat in the game, as they will be surrounded by followers willing to die for them.

Exploration has not been forgotten, since it will be necessary to search every corner of Redfall to get your hands on resources, and also improve our equipment. Infiltration will also be essential to get rid of creatures with maximum efficiency. “Even with powerful weapons and abilities at your disposal, you will still have to use your brains, we are assured. good gear for the occasion, especially if you're progressing solo. Using Jacob's Raven to scout or rely on your own stealth skills is a good way to cover any eventuality."

Redfall is set for release in 2023 on Xbox and PC consoles.
