Gameplay features

The recent gameplay showcase gave us a close look at how Redfall will handle its mechanics and even differentiate itself from the dev’s previous work.

Up to four players will tackle vampires and cultists using an array of weapons and abilities to retake control of Redfall, Massachusetts. From punchy rifles to summoning ethereal elevators to propel your character into the air, there will be multiple ways to play using each of the four characters.

Redfall characters

Each of the playable characters, Devinder Crousley, Jacob Boyer, Layla Ellison, and Remi De La Rosa, will have their own unique abilities, and their own personalities.

Here’s a brief rundown of each one according to Arkane:

• Layla Ellison: “A biomedical engineering student who interned at a research facility, where something went very wrong, leaving her with intense telekinetic abilities.”
• Devinder Crousley: “A cryptozoologist and aspiring inventor. Armed with weapons of his own creation, he’s on a mission to prove himself.”
• Jacob Boyer: “An ex-military sharpshooter turned private contractor. Strange happenings on Redfall have left Jacob with a mysterious vampiric eye and a spectral raven that’s never far from his side.”
• Remi De La Rosa: “A brilliant combat engineer who has spent her life on the frontlines. With the help of her robot cohort, Bribon, she’s determined to help rescue Redfall’s survivors.”

Redfall story: What is it about?

Set in Redfall, Massachusetts, the small town is suffering from a big problem: hordes of vampires. According to Arkane, the town is a small island that is secluded from the outside world.

Vampires have blocked out the sun in Redfall and are preventing anyone from getting to and from the island. It’ll be up to the team to take down these evil forces and restore order to the town.

Is Redfall co-op and multiplayer?

Yes – Redfall is going to feature co-op and multiplayer play, being able to take out different heroes into the open world as you work to find a build that suits you best.

You’ll be able to team up with a maximum of three other players, but you’re also able to explore the island solo if that’s more your style.
