‘Redfall’ Launches This May for PC, Consoles
After the frustrating delay last year, Arkane’s Redfall finally has a release date. Announced during Microsoft’s Developer_Direct showcase, Arkane’s open-world cooperative first-person shooter will launch for Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store on May 2.
In addition to the release date announcement, Arkane has also revealed new gameplay deep dive video for Redfall. And if that’s not enough, they’ve also announced pre-order goodies, as well as a Bite Back Edition of Redfall.
Pre-order the game now to receive the Vampire Hunter Pack. This includes the exclusive Grim Tide Shotgun, which grants 20% increased damage with this weapon for eight seconds after killing an enemy. The pack also includes a Polar Vortex multi-weapon skin and a Blood Ravager Stake weapon attachment to help you take back Redfall.
And for the devoted fan, you can upgrade to the Bite Back Edition to receive the Hero Pass with two future heroes, the Throwback Outfit Pack with a unique outfit and backpack for each of the four base heroes (inspired by their lives before Redfall), a Laser Beam multi-weapon skin, and the Tactical Knife Stake weapon attachment.
Set in the eponymous island town of Redfall, Massachusetts, the game sees the town under siege by a legion of vampires who have blocked out the sun and cut the citizens off from the outside world. It’s up to you or with up to three other vampire hunters to explore the open world and unravel the mystery behind the vampires’ appearance.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
