Redfall’s release date, special edition and pre-order bonuses announced

Arkane Studios has announced that Redfall will be released on May 2, 2023.

The game will be released for Xbox Series X/S and PC and will be available on Game Pass at launch.

The release date was confirmed during the Xbox and Bethesda Developer_Direct showcase on Wednesday.

The event was also used to present over 10 minutes of new Redfall gameplay, which is viewable below.

Redfall is a story-driven, open-world FPS which is playable solo or with a team of up to four-players in co-op. It sees players battling to defeat a legion of vampires who have cut the quaint island town of Redfall, Massachusetts off from the outside world.

Microsoft has also announced details of a Redfall special edition and pre-order bonuses.

The Redfall Bite Back Edition will include the Hero Pass, which will provide access to two future heroes, and the Throwback Outfit Pack, featuring a unique outfit and backpack for each of the four base heroes inspired by their lives before the events of the game. It will also come with a Laser Beam multi-weapon skin, and the Tactical Knife Stake weapon attachment.

Players who pre-order Redfall or play the game with Xbox Game Pass will receive the Vampire Hunter Pack. It will include the exclusive Grim Tide Shotgun, which grants 20% increased damage for eight seconds after killing an enemy, a Polar Vortex multi-weapon skin, and a Blood Ravager Stake weapon attachment.

Last May, Bethesda delayed the Redfall and Starfield release dates from 2022 to the first half of 2023.

“The teams at Arkane Austin (Redfall) and Bethesda Game Studios (Starfield) have incredible ambitions for their games, and we want to ensure that you receive the best, most polished versions of them,” it said at the time.
