New Hero Trailer For ‘Redfall’ Introduces Sharpshooter Jacob Boyer [Watch]
Last week, Arkane revealed the first Hero that players will be able to play as in Redfall with Layla. Now it’s ex-military sharpshooter turned private contractor Jacob Boyer’s turn to shine in his new Hero trailer.
The story goes that Jacob was once part of the Bellweather group, guns for hire that one night were ambushed by vampires during a job in Redfall. The attack initially left Jacob without an eye, but after an encounter with a vampire god, Jacob gained new powers in the form of a mysterious vampiric eye, as well as a spectral raven companion.
As with every Hero you’ll play as in Redfall, Jacob has three unique abilities. Given his role as a sharpshooter, Jacob has the ability to cloak for ten seconds that gives you the much-needed time to set up your sniper shots. Speaking of which, Jacob also has the Heartstopper, a psychic sniper rifle that can lock onto your enemies. The last of Jacob’s abilities comes in the form of the raven, which allows Jacob to tag foes, giving the player an outline of enemy locations.
Redfall is set to release on May 2 for Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store.
We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.
In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.
“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
