Arkane might be preparing for a Redfall beta

Arkane has been playtesting Redfall for a long time, with one particular private playtest resulting in gameplay leaks back in 2021, when we still knew very little about the game officially. Soon, it looks like Arkane may give the public its first taste of the game, as evidence of an upcoming beta has been found. 

Redfall is heading to Steam as well as Xbox Game Pass for PC at launch. In a backend update to the game on Steam, a EULA agreement can be found for a Redfall beta. This could be in place for Steam's private beta system, but it could also indicate plans for a public playtest in the months to come.

Redfall is a co-op focused game that can be played solo, but it is primarily designed around having up to four players. The game is set in the fictional town of Redfall, which has become overrun with vampires. In an open-world setting, you and up to three other players will travel around completing quests and taking down vampire leaders along the way to take back control of the town.

Redfall was originally going to come out in 2022, but was delayed earlier this year alongside Bethesda's next major RPG, Starfield. Both titles are now expected to land on Xbox and PC in the first half of 2023.

KitGuru Says: I don't have particularly high expectations for Redfall, but a well received public beta could certainly change that. Are many of you looking forward to this one?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
