Redfall: Into The Night Trailer

The game is getting closer and this new video looks great. Arkane Austin would like to welcome you to the not-so calm seas and sunless skies of Redfall, Massachusetts in this sinister and spooky new trailer for the upcoming open world, story-driven shooter. Prepare for things that definitely go bump in the night.

Jin_Sakai576d ago

Looking good. Arkane should release this game around Halloween 2023. Would be a treat.

Garethvk576d ago

It would be so nice to have this as a Halloween treat but it is nice that they are waiting to release it until it is ready. Still; a demo would be nice.

onisama576d ago

Its a coop game so an open beta would be nice

Lightning77576d ago

A whole year from now? That's way too far off. They can't afford to do that.

Garethvk576d ago

Early 2023 is already enough of a delay.

RaidenBlack576d ago

Mid 2023 release and a big 2023 Halloween DLC/update.

Jin_Sakai576d ago

I can wait. I’d rather them take their time and put out a great game. That’s just me though.

Brazz576d ago

so far, i'm not felling the "power" behind this game, looks kinda "meh"... but releasing this game around Halloween 2023/2024 is a genius idea, amazing market move! Hopefully they will realease at halloween and Arkane will deliver.

Lightning77576d ago

Cool trailer but give us a freaking release date. I know this game will launch before Starfiled that's a given. But the game has to be releasing soon. Next Q1 but most likely Q2 2023

Garethvk576d ago

Feb or March 2023 is my guess.

onisama576d ago

Yeah Feb 2023 seem logical and starfield in summer

Crows90576d ago

Such a long freaking wait.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

darthv7210d ago

their biggest mistake was showcasing it as being a 60fps game only to release it at 30. That really soured the taste so that when the real 60fps mode was released, many still didnt want to give it a taste. i tierd it at 30... it was okay, but playing it at 60 is a much better experience and a better overall game. Its really not that bad once you get past the drama surrounding its initial release and just play it for what it is. It has some pretty decent aspects but nothing groundbreaking. It feels like a typical fps from the ps360 days... of which there were many.

jwillj2k410d ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos10d ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing6910d ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex10d ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Eonjay10d ago

Helldivers 2 realistically has earned about half a billion which is definitely a success considering it probably cost Sony $50 million to make.

However you would still need 140 releases to at least be that successful to break even on a ACT purchase.

This is how you know the goal for Microsoft was to reach those crazy subscribers numbers. Without them the whole plan falls apart.

Exvalos10d ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.

A Flawed Game Till The Very End, Redfall Deserved To Die, But Not Arkane Austin

Hanzala from eXputer: "Redfall was a bland, repetitive game with no post-release support; it deserved to die, but why kill Arkane Austin over one mistake?"

z2g14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

What short memories everybody has. According to the internet they became “the worst studio” after redfall… the internet made redfall a bigger deal than redfall just being a shitty game becaus *gasp* Xbox bought them and” just wanted shitty gamepass games so quality wasn’t a priority”.
(The reality was it was just rushed to market to fill a release hole).

Everybody wants Xbox to fail but as soon as closures start happening suddenly that was never the hope at all and Xbox is just evil.

What has happened to humanity. Being so extreme with viewpoints paints everybody into a hypocritical corner where the side of the story your on depends on which side makes Xbox look worse. Read the internet. Your disagrees are lies.

Shame. Gamers never want to accept their role in all the shit.

My heart goes out to those laid off. Not sure why those studios had to close but I suspect they were costing more money to operate than they were brining in revenue. It does cost money to fix games. Cyberpunk’s road to redemption was prob approaching the price of the original game.

That sucks and I’m angry about it but that’s also business and I’m in the same boat myself at my job as we speak… so it’s not like I don’t have sympathy. But I’m tired of the short memories, the lack of true empathy and opinions being driven by branding. Disgusting.

MIDGETonSTILTS1714d ago

People wanted Xbox to succeed, especially after THE biggest media acquisition in history and effectively owning the entire existing Western RPG genre; but we knew they would fail, and they’d drag down an entire genre with them.

Nobody wanted this, but it was foreseen.

Arkane Austin Was Working on a Big Redfall Update for May Before Microsoft Ditched the Game

The now abandoned Redfall had a roadmap of support that was being actively worked on before Microsoft scrapped all development and closed its developer, IGN can reveal.

jznrpg14d ago

But Xbox fans told us MS buying these studios was going to be more games for everyone

Chocoburger14d ago

Couldn't even let them finish the major update that was supposed to come out this month for a game that desperately needed an update? Spencer is such a douche.
