Redfall Playtest Images Leak And Give a Hint As to What The Game Might Be

Images from Redfall, the upcoming Xbox Series X/S console exclusive from Dishonored and Deathloop developer Arkane Studios, have seemingly leaked from a playtest.

The leaked images were first seen in a now-deleted Reddit post from TheRedFall and show off some of the game's weapons and heroes alongside the Redditor describing a game that appears to be very much like Borderlands with Dishonored-style abilities. Other Redditors, like kidaXV, have reposted the images and re-wrote what was originally said.

Two of the weapons that appear in the images are titled the UV Beam M01 and Stake Launcher M02. Besides these weapons sounding like the perfect foil for vampires, they also show their descriptions and modifiers.

For example, the UV Beam has a "Rating" of 5,384, a high "Rate of Fire", a bit lower "Reload Rate," and a "Magazine Size" of 65. It also boasts "Additional charge capacity," "Increased accuracy while moving," and "Increased petrification speed." There is also a "Scrap Value," which may be Redfall's currency.

The weapons come in one of five rarity levels, and the Loadout screen shows that each character will have access to three weapons, and one slot for Armor, Medkit, Remnants, and Memento. There were six heroes in the playtest, and each hero has three abilities assigned to them as well.

It's also important to note that these images are from a very early stage of the game and are likely not indicative of the final quality for its graphics or even aspects of its gameplay. Games constantly change throughout their development, and while it is exciting to see more of a much-anticipated game, expectations need to be set properly.

Redfall was announced at E3 2021 and showed a glimpse of the open-world co-op FPS that will feature vampires created from an experiment gone wrong.
