REDFALL

Which is fortunate, because learning that this team is working on an open-world co-op shooter with vampires is frankly disappointing. There was no shortage of Left-4-Dead-alike at this year’s show and, at first glance, it doesn’t seem like a structure that plays to Arkane’s strengths. But then we consider that the Austin team’s previous project was Mooncrash, a Prey expansion that pushed the immersive sim into Roguelike territory – not to mention Deathloop’s exciting experiments with multiplayer – and Redfall makes sense as an evolution of this lineage, rather than simply a comfortable repetition.
