It even has a release date: May 2, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>In previous live streams about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/news\/redfall-trailer-gameplay-release-date-and-more\"><em>Redfall<\/em><\/a>, Arkane has focused on the moment-to-moment gameplay, how the guns work, some of the skills you can unlock, and how you can collaborate with other players to combine abilities against your vampire enemies. But in this most recent live stream, the Xbox &#038; Bethesda Developer Direct, Arkane took a step back to talk about your overarching aim in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/reviews\/xbox-series-x\">Xbox Series X<\/a> game.<\/p>\n<p>Your mission is simple: clear the town of Redfall of all the bloodsuckers and their buddies.<\/p>\n<div data-nosnippet>\n<p><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"high\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cR8GVePOdpY\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That may seem like a straightforward goal, but in practice, there\u2019s a little more to it. For a start, the town of Redfall doesn\u2019t just have a vampire problem. Human cultists have taken up residence in the community, capturing survivors and feeding them to the bloodsuckers. It\u2019s a kind of hero worship for the cultists, trying to get on the good side of the pointy-teethed menaces and gain favor with the vampire gods.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To rid the town of vampires and cultists, you\u2019ll need to go from neighborhood to neighborhood, eliminating vampire nests and cultist operations. Eventually, when you\u2019ve caused enough of a ruckus, you\u2019ll need to kill a vampire underboss. These are souped-up vampires armed with special abilities you\u2019ll only encounter in those boss fights.<\/p>\n<p>In each neighborhood, you\u2019ll find a safe house in which you can set up shop. Arkane didn\u2019t go into much detail about what you could do at these locales, though hopefully, they\u2019re more than good fast travel and respawn spots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When you kill an underboss, you will claim their skull, which acts as a kind of key. Collect enough skulls and you unlock a fight with one of the vampire gods, and I don\u2019t know how to put this other than saying they\u2019re a heckin\u2019 big bloodsucker. They\u2019re the kind of big that makes me think I may have to play <em>Redfall<\/em> in co-op after all, even though you can complete the whole game in single-player.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll make the call on whether I want to go it alone against the vamps nearer the time, but at least I can schedule the decision in now, because the <em>Redfall<\/em> release date isn\u2019t far off. I only have to wait until May 2. And, of course, as it will be out on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/reviews\/xbox-games-pass\">Game Pass<\/a> on day one, I don\u2019t even need to convince my friends to pick up a copy.
