Get ready for a bloody good time – Bethesda’s Redfall is available to play right now!
Redfall is a blood-soaked vampire adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat. From compelling storylines to an open world to explore, unique heroes to explosive yet magical combat; Redfall is hitting all the right notes. Today, we’re going to look at everything you need to know about Redfall, the official specifications, and which gaming PCs from the Overclockers UK collection are best to play it. So, grab your reading snacks and let’s get to it!
Redfall Gameplay
Redfall is the latest game from Arkane Austin and Bethesda. Set in the island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, the vampires have taken over, blocking out the sun and laying siege. Cut off from the outside world, it’s up to you and handful of other survivors to uncover the truth of how the vampires came here.
Fully immersing you into this story-rich adventure, Redfall is a first-person shooter, with an open-world setting. Even better, it fully supports NVIDIA’s suite of game-enhancing technologies such as ray tracing and DLSS. Every detail, beautifully crafted by the same team that brought you Prey and Dishonoured, will come to life in stunning quality and resolution. With buttery smooth frame rates, to boot!
Unique Heroes
There are four characters to choose from and play as in Redfall, each with their own unique skill set, abilities, and battle styles. Play as:
- Layla Ellison: A biomedical engineering student who volunteered for a medical trial that went very wrong and ended up with psychic powers.
- Jacob Boyer: An ex-military sharpshooter with a vampiric eye and spectral raven at his side.
- Remi De La Rosa: A combat engineer teamed up with a robot cohort called Bribón.
- Devinder Crousley: A cryptozoologist who is something of an inventor, too, wielding weapons of his own making.
Redfall can be played solo or co-operatively with up to four players, so you won’t have to miss out on these characters in action! Offline solo gameplay has recently been added, with the option to pause as well – should you need to adjust your gear or step away from your PC.
What Platform is Redfall Available On?
Redfall is available to play on Xbox Series X|S and PC. It gets better. You can play it on PC from Steam, Epic Games, or Xbox PC Games Pass. But wait, there’s even more. Arkane Austin has confirmed that crossplay is supported, so you can take on the co-op campaign regardless of which platform your friends use.
