Redfall has received some new information from Arkane Studios. There are community sessions on Discord, but in the form of a Q&A, players will learn more about this upcoming title. The development team discussed the difficulty level and dynamics when the player is playing solo or in co-op. Also mentioned is The Rook, a massive vampire who appears to have great strength.
The vampire The Rook looks a lot like Nightmare in Prey, but fans have wondered if he was just visually similar or if he would have some of the same abilities as him in Redfall. The Rook appears as soon as the player angers vampires, kills them, fights them, etc. It appears every now and then because ultimately the player's actions in this game have consequences with the Rook appearing.
In terms of cosmetic items, players have access to headgear, special backpack styles, and full outfits. The developer has revealed that aside from pre-order bonuses, all cosmetic items are unlockable through gameplay alone, either as rewards for certain quests or simply through exploration. There are a number of abandoned houses and locations where we're likely to find some interesting Lost Outfits.
Redfall will be released on May 2 for Xbox Series X/S and PC and will arrive on Game Pass on the 1st.
