‘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.

Definitive Edition of Throwback Survival Horror Game ‘Doctor Viscera’ Launches June 23 [Trailer]
For those who enjoy their survival horror gaming with a side of old-school cheese, you have Liminal Road’s Doctor Viscera. Released last October on Steam, the game is set to receive its Definitive Edition next week on June 23rd, with plans for a release on consoles to be shared soon. The Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition will include a variety of improvements, adjustments, and new content designed to make the experience even more intense. All of this content will be available free to existing owners.
For those not in the know, Doctor Viscera is a throwback survival horror title with PSX-inspired visuals, where you must escape the abandoned GrimmHaus Asylum. You must explore the asylum’s various rooms, find useful items, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas and discover escape routes. At the same time, you’ll need to be on the lookout for the Doctor and his grotesque experiments.
The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the Nurse, a brand-new enemy who will actively pursue players throughout the campaign. Although slower than the eponymous doctor, the nurse introduces a completely different gameplay dynamic by using ranged attacks with a firearm, forcing players to rethink their routes, strategies, and survival tactics.
Under certain circumstances, you can disarm the Nurse, creating entirely new situations and possibilities within the game.
Doctor Viscera: Definitive Edition also introduces a new area to the map, featuring a tram system. In addition to serving as a new exploration route, it can also be used to quickly escape pursuers and travel between different sections of the asylum.
The update also brings improvements across multiple aspects of the experience, including:
- Level design changes
- Puzzle redesigns
- Performance optimizations
- New immersive audio system
- Controller support
- New menu interfaces
