By "diverse roster," it means just four characters (above left to right)-ex-military sharpshooter gone rogue Jacob Boyer, Redfall resident with telekinetic powers Layal Ellison, Navy combat specialist Remi De La Rosa with her robot sidekick, and paranormal investigator and gadget master Devinder Crousley. Up to four players can band together, choosing a "hero from a diverse roster," says Bethesda. The only thing standing in their way are the vampire slayers. Somehow the fiends figured out a way to block out the sun and close off the island to travel, isolating its residents creating a paradise where they could freely roam day or night to feed.

They can evolve and develop new and unique powers. They were created by a genetic experiment gone wrong. These are not your garden variety vampires, though. Redfall is a "quaint island town," or at least it was until vampires took over. In the game, Redfall, Massachusetts is the setting for the action, hence the name. As it turns out, Redfall is the name of an entirely new intellectual property. These assumptions were based mainly on a play on the word "Redguards," a race of humans from Hammerfell in TES lore, but also because it fell nicely into the TES one-word-subtitle naming scheme-Skyrim, Oblivion, Daggarfall, etc. Initial speculation was that it was perhaps going to be the subtitle for The Elder Scrolls VI. Rumors of Redfall emerged back in 2018 when Bethesda applied for a trademark on the name. However, players face off against powerful vampires in Redfall rather than the shambling hordes of zombies in L4D. As exciting as some of those games are, it was refreshing to see something unexpected emerge.Īmong the plethora of E3 game reveals and updates, Microsoft and Bethesda announced Redfall, a four-player co-op shooter in the vein of Left 4 Dead. And Nintendo updated us on the next Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game. We got our first look at Avatar Frontiers of Pandora. Bethesda gave us a new teaser for Starfield with a release date of November 11, 2022. Something to look forward to: This year's E3 had plenty of updates on games we know are coming.
