A brand-new trailer for Redfall sheds light on the various different bloodsuckers that players will slay in Arkane Studios’ cooperative vampire shooter. The multiplayer first-person shooter will take players to the peaceful seaside town of Redfall, which has unfortunately been taken over and transformed by a massive cabal of coffin crawlers. The delay of Redfall into 2023 has sadly pushed back the city-wide vampire hunt, but a brand-new trailer recently unveiled several new enemies that will stalk the city streets once the game does finally arrive.
While Redfall looks quite different from past Arkane Studios titles like Dishonored or Prey, the vampire shooter promises to deliver a robust and immersive experience nonetheless. The game has been designed from the ground up for cooperative play, with four different heroes and their unique skill paths creating a wide range of viable playstyles. Redfall itself is also said to be quite expansive, with atmosphere and environmental storytelling making exploration as engaging as it was in past Arkane games. Though Redfall is a co-op vampire shooter, stealth systems and RPG mechanic promise to make the undead adventure truly robust.
A new Redfall trailer posted by Bethesda Softworks reveals several new vampires that players will take down as they reclaim the peaceful seaside town. The Angler looks to be a particularly deceptive creature, while the creepy Watcher is even more grotesque. The Watcher appears to specifically highlight the stealth element of Redfall, with players presumably able to sneak past these ghoulish figures if they avoid their spotlight eye beams. One brief part of the trailer also sees a player ambushed in the dark by another aggressive bloodsucker, suggesting that the co-op shooter will sometimes dip into the realm of survival horror.
Redfall Will Give Players Plenty Of Vampires To Stake

Last year it was reported that Doom developer id Software is helping on Redfall, which should help blend Arkane’s immersive RPG gameplay with intense first-person shooter action. Previous Arkane games like Dishonored and Prey have excelled at delivering unique worlds and deep environmental interactions, but shooting enemies with big guns has always taken a backseat. Thankfully id Software is well-equipped to craft a fast-paced shooter with impressive enemy variety, as demonstrated by 2020’s Doom Eternal.
Vampires are one of pop culture’s most iconic monsters, but Redfall promises to put a fresh spin on the brutal bloodsucking hordes. The game’s enemies appear to be incredibly aggressive, owing to their bloodthirsty nature, and special foes like the Angler and Watcher will hopefully add a great deal of variety to every combat encounter. Fighting through the streets with a friend will no doubt make the game less than scary, but special vampire units can still make Redfall a tense and even frightening experience.
