Originally, Redfall was supposed to launch at some point in 2022, but the release date was delayed to the first half of 2023.

What this potentially means for its scope or quality, if anything at all, is hard to say at this point, but fans should find out later this year.Īs it stands, no official Redfall release date has been announced. Smith also described Redfall as Arkane's 'pandemic game,' indicating that it was primarily made during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will result in a lot more feedback out of the gate than the team had anticipated. Speaking to GamesRadar, Smith described this as 'kind of shocking' and 'scary in a way' because of the sheer number of people that could potentially play Redfall at launch. No such agreements exist with open world co-op shooter Redfall, so it will debut on Xbox Game Pass the very same day it releases. RELATED: Redfall is More Like Far Cry Than Left 4 Dead After Deathloop's PS5 exclusivity ran out, the game wasted no time debuting on Xbox through the Game Pass service. However, Microsoft honored pre-existing agreements between Bethesda and Sony in regard to Deathloop, meaning the game was a PS5 exclusive for an entire year.

One Arkane game has already been published since Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda went through in the form of first-person shooter game Deathloop. When Redfall launches later this year, it will be the first time that an Arkane Studios game has released for Xbox Game Pass on day one, but all future games from the studio will almost certainly be day one Xbox Game Pass releases as well.

Redfall launching on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service is something that is both 'shocking' and 'scary' for the developers at Arkane Studios, according to studio director Harvey Smith.
