As expected, Xbox's E3 showcase ended with the now-standard "one more thing." In a twist, however, the "one more thing" wasn't the latest new entry in a major franchise or anything, but rather an entirely new IP from Bethesda and Arkane. After Xbox had purchased Bethesda, we were wondering what their first big flex from them would be, their first major Bethesda game. We didn't expect a completely brand new Arkane title, especially with Deathloop still in the works. But lo and behold, Redfall.

An open-world co-op FPS game from Arkane Austin, Redfall is about a Massachusets island town of the same name which sees itself as the target of a vampire invasion, one that's blocked out the sun and cut off all communication with the mainland, no less. Now it's up to you to assemble a perfect team of vampire slayers, one ready to strike when Redfall comes out in Summer 2022 for XSX and PC, hitting Game Pass on day one as well.
