Stalker, Far Cry 2, and, well, Arkane: Redfall proudly wears its most obvious influences on its bloody sleeve
Arkane has a problem. Its games, by all accounts, are great. The Dishonored series, Prey, Deathloop – they all review well. Arkane, for generations now, has been a favourite of critics and developer peers. But that acclaim and clout does not translate into sales (or player count, if you’re taking services like Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus into account). Deathloop’s sales were the lowest of any Arkane game at the time it launched on PS5, at least in the physical market. Prey fared only slightly better – and that was a multiplatform release.
Redfall, then, is in a unique position. Arriving on Xbox Game Pass, day and date, means that around 29 million people will be able to boot up the game and immerse themselves in its vampire fantasy at launch. Without asking for a £60+ buy-in, without asking players to gamble what may be their quarterly game budget on an as-yet-unproven new IP, Arkane can finally show the mainstream what it’s capable of. And Redfall, from what I’ve played so far, seems like it has what it takes to capture your imagination.
First thing’s first, the shooting feels better than Deathloop. This is something that Arkane Austin’s studio director, Harvey Smith, chatted casually to me about before the hands-on. The development team, only fairly recently, figured out how to make the various different guns – stake launchers, UV light blasters, magnums, high-calibre sniper rifles, and more – feel really, really good. Each class feels right in your hands, whether you’re fanning the hammer of a revolver or wretching the level of a rifle back before popping another headshot, this is what shooting should feel like – not the paper-thin water pistols we had in Deathloop.

Meghan Markle wears strapless white dress to accept ‘anti-racism’ award with suited Prince Harry ahead of Netflix doc
MEGHAN Markle wore a strapless white dress to receive an award for her and Prince Harry’s stance against “structural racism” in the Royal Family.
The Duchess of Sussex , 41, and Harry, 37, who wore a blue suit, were due to pick up the Ripple of Hope award at a lavish New York ceremony where tables were sold for up to $1million.

Meghan wore an off-the-shoulder white dress by Louis Vuitton, complete with thigh-high slit, after the Princess of Wales wore a similar style of dress design at the Earthshot gala in Boston.
The gown was paired with a black clutch and long gold earrings, while her hair was slicked back into a low bun.
The couple arrived in the rain with Harry holding a brolly over his wife’s head as they made their way into the event.
They then made their appearance in front of photographers with Meghan seen wearing a large blue ring, which appeared to be an emerald-cut aquamarine once owned by Princess Diana.
But Megan and Harry refused to answer questions from assembled journalists as they posed for photos with Kerry Kennedy, John F. Kennedy’s niece.
Earlier the eco-warrior couple arrived in New York after flying in by private jet from their California home.
The award honours “exemplary leaders” who have demonstrated “an unwavering commitment” to social change.
The star studded event was attended by celebrities including Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin.
Asked what he admired about the couple he said: “They way they deal with difficult circumstances in the press without to much difficulty.
“They’ve obviously chosen a different path. Good for them. They’re newly arrived in the States.
“I think it’s great they’ve agreed to support this cause which we have for years.”
The couple we honoured by Kennedy at the annual bash, which is organised by the Robert F Kennedy Human Rights foundation.
It comes after Hours earlier they were mocked over inaccuracies in a trailer for their Netflix docu-series in which Meghan is seen to break down in tears.
Harry and Meghan will join previous winners Joe Biden and former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
U2 star Bono, Hillary Clinton and Desmond Tutu, who helped to end apartheid in South Africa, have also received the award.
The couple are expected to attend the extravagant gala, where the cheapest ticket will set guests back $2,500.
It comes after Meghan accused an unnamed royal of raising “concerns” about the “skin colour” of her and Harry’s children in her Oprah Winfrey interview.
She declined to reveal the identity of the racist royal as it would be too “damaging” for them.
Ahead of them accepting the award, the couple wheeled out a supporter to claim they had suffered “hatred” and racism.
US businessman Christopher Bouzy, 47, was a little-known tech guru before turning his sights on the royal family last year.
But yesterday he was given a starring role in the streaming giant’s second “official teaser” video.
And in a dramatic intervention, Bouzy told viewers: “It’s about hatred. It’s about race.”
His claims were screened moments after the couple’s lawyer, Jenny Afia, insisted there was “a war against Meghan to suit other people’s agendas”.
The latest salvo against the Royals is likely to fuel demands for Megahan and Harry to be stripped of their Royal titles.
The King and Queen will both be out this week at pre-arranged engagements and vowed not to be distracted from the job, it is understood.
Insiders say the Royals are finding the Netflix row “wearying” coming so soon after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the King taking on a new role.
