About the single player mode, pumping and the world of Redfall

Harvey Smith fromArkane Studiosspoke with the IGN portal and told some details about the team's new project –

co-op shooterredfall. Although the game can be played with friends, it’s not even bad in single player mode, he assures.

Here are the details Smith provided:

Single mode

  • By oneselfredfallfeels like a “classic game fromArkane“.
  • There are no partner bots in the game that would replace real players
  • Stealth is an important feature of the gameplay, although it will not be very strict
  • AI focuses on hearing and vision. The enemy's behavior was created according to the type of previous games fromArkaneso that unusual situations can be generated.

co-op mode

  • Task progress is saved only on the host. Guests keep the equipment they found and the experience they gained.
  • There are no level restrictions for connection:Let's say you can come to the end game of the second player with your low-level character. It will be noticeably more difficult for you than for your partner, but you will also be pumped faster.
  • They decided not to make restrictions on characters: players in a match can have the same heroes. In order to somehow distinguish the &#8220;two twins&#8221; in the game lobby they offer to wear different costumes.

Leveling up

  • Each character has passive skills and three active skills with upgrade branches. In addition, some of the skills are the same for all heroes - for example, the ability to carry more healing agents with you.
  • Weapons are divided by levels. The distinctive features of the trunk also depend on the type of rarity.
  • There are remnants in the game - special gameplay modifiers similar to magical artifacts.
  • You cannot change the character during the game, but the generalthere is no progress between the characters. That is, if you went through half the game for one character, and then started playing for another, then the plot and pumping will have to be started all over again.
  • They will also not allow you to redistribute experience points.
  • The same character can be duplicated in different storage slots. This is useful if, for example, you want to have alternative builds for one hero on hand

Game world

  • The game has a very open structure - so much so thatArkaneAt some point we had to narrow the space.
  • The world is divided into two main regions. In the first part of the story, you will be in the city center, and in the second - in the countryside.
  • One of the activities in the world is nesting withartifact remains. These are special locations randomly generated. The rules of the real world do not work there, so an impossible architecture appears. Nests are optional entertainment, but they can be replayed many times.
  • Loot usually appears where you expect it. For example, a vampire will drop a firearm on you, and a story through the environment may lead you to the hideout of a poor fellow whose corpse lies nearby.
