Redfall release date
The Redfall release date is May 1, 2023 at 5pm PT, 8pm ET, and 1 am BST on May 2, 2023, on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. This date was announced during the Xbox Developer Direct in January 2023.
This release date for the game confirmed a rumour from multiple sources, including Windows Central, that stated that the game is planned to release in the first week of May. So it seems like this Spring will conclude with a busy May, alongside games like LEGO 2K Drive and The Legend of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom.
Redfall story
Redfall takes place in the fictional town of Redfall, Massachusetts. You can play as one of four different heroes as they save the town from the Vampire threats which have taken over the city.
Redfall gameplay
Redfall will see you and up to three other players take on forces of vampires and cultists who have overtaken the town of Redfall. While there’s an emphasis on multiplayer, especially with Redfall crossplay and crossplatform, you can play the entire game solo.
Largely, as described in our Redfall preview, the game is more of a horror game than it may look and generally, you will use a variety of characters’ abilities and guns to take on the vampire threats. You can get a glimpse of the game in action below:
