Players haven't gotten a look at all of the vampire hunters' arsenals, but it is clear that shooting stakes will be the main to take down the undead.
The gameplay for Redfall looks to take all these tropes into consideration, positioning itself somewhere between sci-fi and supernatural fantasy. After all, these vampires are literally trying to block the sun so they no longer have to sleep during the day. At least in Redfall, MA, the vampires have no desire to stay in hiding. The vampires exist much like they would in ancient times, but will often try to hide away from humanity in order to keep secret. Games like Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt or Shadows of New York place players in modern cities, with vampires in an underground society of sorts. However, just because Redfall happens to be in a modern setting doesn't mean it plays into some more modern vampire tropes. Since Redfall's vampires are trying to block the sun, it's unlikely that all it would do to them is make them sparkle. It seems that the age-old way to kill vampire is still the same, as the trailer shows these vampire hunters shooting stake at the vampires' chests. Vampires in the trailer want to drink the blood of their victims, which is probably the one trope for vampires that has appeared in every iteration. However, even with a different type of origin for its vampires, Redfall plays into certain historical vampire tropes.
Image descriptions name this creature as the "Vampire God," which is definitely foreboding. A multi-armed vampire might be doing something to literally block the sun from the town. One vampire has the dramatic ability to conjure up a glowing red hook and uses it to reel in one of the vampire hunters. Most vampires seem to have the power of flight. Many more big game showcases and streams are still to come this summer, leading up to Gamescom, so see our summer games stream schedule to stay up to date.Arkane’s cinematic trailer for Redfall was quite the spectacle, but it did a really great job of showing off different vampire with different abilities. Redfall isn't expect until summer 2022.Į3 2021 may be over but our memories live on - see everything on our E3 hub. I have no complaint and will take every co-op monster shooter coming.Īrkane Lyon continue to work on Deathloop, of course, which is due for release later this year. So far this E3 we've seen Rainbow Six Extraction (Left 6 Dead), Back 4 Blood (Back 4 Blood), former L4D writer's own The Anacrusis (Left 4 Chet), and now Redfall (Left 4 Red). I like that everyone, everywhere is making Left 4 Dead games at the moment. The same post also introduces those four heroes: Layla Ellison, who has telekinetic powers Jacob Boyer, a sharpshooter with a spectral raven Remi de la Rosa, who has a robot sidekick and Devinder Crousley, an inventor and "internet-famous paranormal investigator." Meanwhile, Redfall's vampires aren't traditional - they're humans who have been turned vampiric by biotech. You'll fight both them and the vamps with a squad of up to four players. A post on the Xbox site explains that the vampires have taken over the town of Redfall, "blocked out the sun, pushed back the tides, and effectively walled off the island from the rest of society." Everyone who remained is either prey to the vampires, or are human cultists who patrol the streets.
