Arkane Studios’ open-world, cooperative first-person shooter Redfall is fast approaching, and soon the vampire scourge will take over the small town of Redfall, Massachusetts.
Based on early preview footage, the game looks like zombie-slaying co-op titles like Left 4 Dead and Back 4 Blood, combined with the open-world sandboxes and unique combat styles of previous Arkane titles like Dishonored and Deathloop.
Redfall is coming to Xbox Series X|S and Microsoft Windows on PC on May 2, 2023, but fans looking to pick up some extra bonus goodies can do so by pre-ordering ahead of time. Here’s how.
